An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft released the design specifications document for C# 2.0 (codenamed 'Whidbey') to be released early next year. New features of the language include generics similar to those found in Eiffel and Ada, anonymous methods similar to lambda functions in Lisp, iterators, and partial types."

Oh boo hoo, the reason it's not in Perl is probably because there's a better/easier way :)

(Please note I have no clue what he means by continuations)

I realize the parent is flamebait, but I can't resist.
Java already has generics, dumbass. They're in the 1.5 release, which is currently in beta (you know, as in a downloadable IMPLEMENTATION, as opposed to just on paper).

Re:It's already there in Java 1.5 by krumms · 2003-10-25 15:40 · Score: 1, Flamebait
True, it hasn't been released yet (the first Java 1.5 betas are due next quarter), neither is Whidbey, and the JSRs have been out for some time, and the prototype compiler with generic support has been available for months.
1. I wasn't talking about Whidbey, I was talking about the current release of C#.
2. JSRs are talk. C# is a reality.
3. C# has already been implemented - further, its implementation is already production quality (irrespective of what Microsoft's definition of "production quality" is - if you disagree, break it for me will you?)
4. How long has C# been production quality for?
I don't mean to be rude, but I don't see what your point is. I'm saying C# is here. You're saying Java 1.5 is almost here, and has been prancing around in pre-production since forever.

And?

Who cares if a bunch of latent homosexuals learn a proprietary language. When they're sodomizing one another in the showers the computer language they're taught is the least of their concerns.
