  1. Re:C-sharp on How Can an Old-School Coder Regain His Chops? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Oh right it's standards based, which is why Mono can run most .NET apps.. right?

    Oh whats that? Mono can't run 25% of the .NET apps out there, just like Wine? .NET core API's are "kinda" open source? That's great!!! :) :) :) :)

    Darn I need to read up on this stuff.

  2. Re:Never touched C# on How Can an Old-School Coder Regain His Chops? · · Score: 0, Troll

    The GNOME project has adopted Mono (and thus C#) although it has quite a few Mono lead devs on its board. I doubt anyone else in FOSS land or other technologies companies relish the idea of getting into bed with Microsoft. They have a history of fucking their partners.

    As I mentioned earlier, C# is just a knock off of Java.

    It's extremely similar if you're familiar with both, 98% of a port can be done with search and replace... s/using/import/g, etc.

    C# does have some nice features, although they threw in all kinds of retardation along with those niceties.

    In a way... sure.

    It fits the exact same position as the wine project. It's a clean room reverse engineered version of a Microsoft technology stack.

    How well does Wine work these days? How well does Mono work?

    C# is just a windows specific knockoff of Java.

    It's important if you're specifically looking for a Microsoft job, which is like 10% of the job market.

    With such poor leadership and Microsoft's general power waning, it probably won't ever surpass being a niche technology.

    You can't tell anyone about what you saw due to all the restricions, so whats the matter arguing the difference. The point is that Java is open and available for review (and modification) and .NET isn't (are you from China or NK or something that you don't get the difference)?

    Of course there isn't anything to add.. you've failed to do that in every post you've made.

    So basically you're lying (in the case of #2, .NET isn't open source, Java is) and making excuses for the rest like "nah ahhhh, Imma gone tell on youuuu."

    NIO supports async and is a part of the official class library standard.

    Mina is great although the brains behind the project left and started a new project, Netty.

    Completely wrong. OpenGL has always had an edge feature wise.

    Khronos has been fixing the coherency of OpenGL api, slimming and streamlining it to make it simpler for developers in the same vein as d3d.
