It's the 30 year Anniversary of the death of pascal.
Last one in jail is a fascist.
...that explains some things....
What are you talking about? No one incorporated any new ideas into C#! It's a direct rip off of java!
These "ideas" you speak of that come from Object Pascal... where are they? Can you name _any_ of them?
As for proof that C# is a rip off of Java... well all you have to do is learn both... or rather, learn one, and you can see how similar they are. And then all you need to do is ask yourself "which one came first?" and you can see who's the ripper, and who's the ripee.
And for all you C# fanatics who are going to cry "But they're clearly different, you can't just learn one and know both, the API is totally different!"
Sorry, but renaming Vector to ArrayList does not change the fact that it is a rip-off.
We really shouldn't be surprised though. This is the norm of Microsoft Business Ethics (tm). And there's nothing explicitly wrong with it. If they can do it, and do it better, more power to them!
Just don't go on about their innovation. Puhhleeze.
