C# 2.0 Spec Released

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."

    When does the platform independent spec come out? Oh wait, it's Microsoft, they don't want their language to be a langauge in and of itsself, they want it to further tie everyone into their proprietary system.

    That language is even more vendor-tied than Java, and it's already bad enough there.

    For those who can't get that link because it is a .doc document (what a shame on /. front page), you can still use OpenOffice.org to read it.

    C# still sucks...

We, the users of Slashbot, must take a stand against these annoying crapfloods. If enough of us complain about these abusive users ruining Slashdot for the rest of us, perhaps something will be done to stop them. Thank you for your time.

    i guess all the doubters will be quiet now, this proves Microsoft can be trusted with .NET after all. no more hidden APIs or secret protocols from the boys at Redmond - from here on its all public domain open standards. When will java get features like generics - no time soon i guess. Microsoft have once again proven themselves to be true innovters. (anyways back to frobnicating with file selector)

    How exactly is the GNAA ruining your Slashdot experience?

    Such things like threshold and moderation exist for a reason. You come across as a whiny loser who wants to stifle free speech rather than just ignore the GNAA losers yourself. Get a life.

    Goodness no. I always hated that about Java. It's a nightmare on big projects, and doesn't really serve to clarify code. Eventually, a lot of functions just end up with "throws Exception".. Either that or you start just throwing subclasses of RuntimeException. Blech.
