"The most important factor in determining the speed and efficiency of a program is not the language used to program it, but the people behind the keyboards."
I asked my friend what are the features one can find in C++ that are not in C#, and he started his search, when I saw this comment I laughed

And which particular comment are you referring, there are lots on that post?
Maybe once you tell me I may understand what I should considering laughing at...
Ta.

That makes two of us...
Most comments seems to point out that it can be made faster the lower type languange that you have. Lets say:
Assembly could be faster than C
C could be faster than C++
C++ could be faster than C#
There isnt anything that you cant program in C# which you also coudnt programm in assembly. And since an assembly program could be tailor made to only serve your needs this could be made to run faster, but there is also something called development time

You mean the time you spend debugging when some framework/library/reflection magic does not work as expected? All that stuff saves time as long as it works and then steals it again. I prefer to worry about my own code.

Only until threw Mickeysoft out the window last year. They have wasted my time once too often. If my computer were not so allergic to Linux, there would not be a single installation of Windows left.

If they would remove the tiles (have enough of them in my house as it is) and had a start button, but noooo....

True.
Assembly must be quicker to develop, because you have to type fewer characters.

I must say, Im not very good at reading assembly though

Hex keyboard. Machine language and a hex keyboard.

So it's also quicker to learn, because you don't have to master such a big character set!

Savage bar I'd say... Unless you often walk into irony bars.

"Iron Man" is a Super Hero. "Iron women" is a command.

No! Women. If you say "iron woman" you might get trouble. If you say 'iron women', if falls under labor.

Here you go.[^] Just as I always said, but I prefer a hex keyboard. Toggle switches are too slow.

I agree with you there! See you got it working, looking good!
Is that an old wire wrap tool there on the table?

Oh, sorry. That's a replica of the original, not mine. My old omputer is only a year younger, but did not need any more wire wrapping and has a hex keyboard.
Here[^] you can see one like mine being made functional again. The 'mainboard' essentially is the same as the wirewrapped original, but with some improvements. The one shown there is quite similar to mine, I just never had more than 4k RAM, but at least it still works perfectly after all the years.
This year I was outside a lot, trying to fly around with (model) helicopters. By now good weather at the weekend is getting more rare, so chances are good that I will have more time for working on the Elf III with 16 mb RAM and perhaps the prototype for a multi CPU Elf IV

I checked prices on ebay for the Elf, couldn't afford one then and can't afford one now...damn expensive! But would be fun to play with, maybe I'll develop an equivalent one using an AVR?

Build one from scratch. The original cost 100$ in 1977 and that has not changed very much. Some parts, like the CDP1802 are a little harder to get, but I can help with that.
