I know this is a non-tech newsgroup but is that really the best you

write good, efficient .NET code when trying to develop using a system
with an obsessive focus on backwards-compatibility, inconsistent
syntax inherited from the1970's and a framework highly optimised for
Win32.

Btw, C# has syntax derived from C++ and C -- gee, sounds like syntax
inherited from the 1970's.


I'm no fan of C++, C or C# or their syntaxes either for similar reasons.
However, four wrongs (including Delphi) do not make a right.

At least Microsoft recognised the flaws and made some effort to improve C#
over its predecessors - not enough for me to switch full-time though.
