C# In-Depth

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the does-he-mention-that-it's-evil dept.

Bergkamp10 from ComputerWorld writes "Microsoft's leader of C# development, writer of the Turbo Pascal system, and lead architect on the Delphi language, Anders Hejlsberg, reveals all there is to know on the history, inspiration, uses and future direction of one of computer programming's most widely used languages — C#. Hejlsberg also offers some insight into the upcoming version of C# (C#4) and the new language F#, as well as what lies ahead in the world of functional programming."

      wait...what? C++ is better for multiplatform programming?

    Talk about softballs, some of us would like the answers to these questions:

    (1) How much did Microsoft have to pay you to switch from the side of the angels to their side?

    (2) Who decided to make C# just enough like Java to fragment and muddle the whole programming scene?

    (3) How can you consider C# to be a success when Microsoft tried using it to replace large parts of Windows and ended up throwing the whole mess away?
