How C# Was Made
prostoalex writes "Bruce Eckel (from the Thinking in C++/Java/Patterns/Enterprise Java fame) and Bill Venners have interviewed programming legend Anders Hejlsberg. After 13 years in Borland and joining Microsoft in 1996, Hejlsberg now leads the development of C# language and talks about the development process, reasons some things exist in C# and some not, as well as future directions."
This is actually a really good C# History Timeline here.
Well worth the read if you're interested in the conceptualization and creation of a language.
OH THE SHAME I fell off the wagon and use sigs again!
Another good interview here
A little OT, but Artima also has a really good article about the development of new features in Java.
its a tubgirl link FYI

Old ladies just wanna get around town
They don't want to sit next to something brown
You're vile, disgusting, revolting and black
So keep walking, nigger, and get in the back
Back of the bus, back of the bus - we don't want you to sit near us
That stupid fucking chimp Rosa Parks was a cunt
That brain-damaged monkey tried to sit in the front
She forgot that she was from an inferior class
If she was here now I'd kick her primate ass
Back of the bus, back of the bus - we don't want you to sit near us
You stupid fucking ugly nigger piece of shit
You'd better find yourself another place to sit
When you get on the bus you'd better walk by
'Cause if you sit in the front you're gonna die
Back of the bus, back of the bus - we don't want you to sit near us
so whats the big deal about c# ,huh?
is it really useful for anything at all?
Why does yahoo do this
GODDAMMIT! Yet another link that fills your screen with tubgirl windows. Mod the fucker down and fast!
A clone of the industry standard server-side language Java designed to lock you into the products of an aging monopoly.
Yeah, that's what I want to spend my Saturday reading about...
C# is VB for C progammers who won't do VB. The only thing C like about C# is the fact that it is called C#.
Perhaps you should read this article. It just might change your mind.
Oh fucking wahh. No matter how much you cry about MS's ruthless behaviour, in the end more programmers will make more money using C# than Java. They rush out crap products in a hurry, but in the end they often work very nicely.
A good example is DirectX. I used it when it was still RenderMorphics. MS bought it, made it junk for about 3 versions and now it's the best out there. Lots more people making a healthy living using DirectX than OpenGL now.
Yes, yes, exactly. Might makes right. Fuck everyone else!
How C# Was Made
Now THAT'S a vision.
Bjarne Stroustrup? Anders Hejlsberg? Am I wrong? Is this a whiter than white man's control fetish thing?
Do you *really* think you can keep people from writing bad code? At least to write assembly you have to be smart enough to understand how to make complicated things from simple things, which works as sort of an idiot filter. Any idiot can make a mess with C#.
I can't believe these guys are funded. Hopefully the future will not be able to afford them.
