That's fine, you're welcome to do so. That still doesn't make it fact.
Maybe, although I admit I couldn't find any real numbers in a few minutes
of web searching. C# is certainly alive and well in the corporate Intranet
world.
"Blind view"? What are you talking about? Maybe I was asking for it by
presenting a defense of C# in a PHP newsgroup, but the fact is that the
successful programmer keeps a wide variety of tools in his toolbox. PHP
and Java belong in that toolbox, as does C#.
I'm not sure why this exchange had to turn into a resume contest. I've
only been programming for 35 years, but I'll bet our lists of languages are
equally long.
Apparently, a bit more open-minded than you. I don't actually use C# (as a
driver writer, my world is mostly assembler, C, and C++), but one would
have to be an idiot to pretend that it does not exist.
Anders Hejlsberg is no idiot. Many of the design concepts in C# are quite
intelligent. Perhaps its major shortcoming is that it came from Microsoft,
because the shrill, religious, anti-Microsoft rhetoric that inevitably
accompanies anything that comes from Redmond drowns out whatever good there
might be.
