    Well, truth be told, Delphi will always be my favourite.

    Which is a breech of contract, a civil offence.

    It is easier to use than the STL, C# has far more syntactic sugar than C++ and the VS debugger is very nice.

    Back in the day when the application was written in C, I often used to prototype stuff in C#, debug it there and then manually translate it to C. It was not as efficient as developing directly in C, but it usually worked better afterwards and was - surprisingly - more readable (but more verbose) than the code developed directly in C.

    I am a mediocre programmer hence I prefer to use tools that make my life easier and my code better.

    Nope, originally native C with some Lua scripts, rewritten in mostly C++11 some time ago. There is no room on the target hardware for Mono.

    I use .NET whenever I am able to, used to carry a Windows Mobile phone between 2003 and 2010 (not Windows Phone, though) and I actually develop for Linux for living.
    I am perfectly able to see the world outside of the bubble, I just don't like what I see.

    Using charcoal would deforest the planet. Besides, it is way dirtier than using coal to create coke.

    I blame it on a very bad machine translation. Never use it unless you have at least some grasp of the target language.

    I don't need to translate this using yandex, I am pretty fluent in Russian as it is, and besides I don't really like yandex.

    "Zemlya" means land in the sense of earth, soil or real estate. Land in the sense of a country would be "strana". And I haven't heard Russians using "comrade" for three decades.

    Apparently you don't know the difference between power plants and mines. And as for carbon output, the population of Germany grew suddenly by a very large amount. When the Arabs go back home the additional carbon output will go with them.

    What plants are you talking about? Only one single new coal power plant is being built in Germany and it will probably be the final one. There is also a new block of an existing power plant being built as a replacement for three older blocks, but that's it.

    Here in Germany they have been compulsory for all coal power plants since the early 1980s.
