I concur. I started on Assembler and FORTRAN, added Pascal, PL/1 and COBOL then on to C and C++ with a side order of umpteen variants of BASIC along with Rexx and some other scripting languages. I moved to C# when it was version 1.0 and railed against it's limitations while liking it's ease of use. With 3.0 it finally started being really useful. Like Griffy-babe says, it's become easier to abuse it with var, etc. - but I don't, and my team doesn't - we are like-minded, thank goodness - so most of the time, everything is peachy!

C# - an exercise in trying to design the ideal multipurpose language that [almost] works perfectly.
Well done Microsoft! ...in this particular instance.

cpp11 is awesome. If you've been away for a while I encourage you to return to c++

Why am I reminded of Darth Vader?

I've been doing some cpp11 work on the Beaglebone, it certainly has changed quite a bit and requires a lot of re-learning on my part.

Yup, pretty much a new language. Used well it is very elegant and I've found it refreshing and enjoyable.

I have to say I like writing my own apps in C# where I have complete control of all the code and data types.

However when I'm customizing an existing CMS platform, the flexibility of duck typing means that I have much more flexibility and power to make smaller and less invasive changes, even if I have to code in PHP Sigh | :sigh:

(Old thread, but I'm just catching up now)

I've earned a living as a C++ developer for a dozen years or so before moving on to C# over 7 years ago. I haven't looked back.

Well, I have looked at some of my old C++ code a couple of times, and the thought I have every single time is that I don't miss it at all.

Is CodeProject broken?

Sorry - we had an outage due to a database schema update. One of those small things that shouldn't have really caused anything untoward, but it was more of a load than anticipated.

Another outage in about 30 secs to finish it off.

cheers

So, that is what they ate at Thanksgiving!!! (*) [^]

The worst recipes:
Colorado: Frogeye Salad (pasta+eggs+fruits+whipped cream+marshmallows...) Dead | X|

Delaware: Pretzel Salad (pretzel+whipped toppings+cream cheese+ jell-O...) Dead | X|

Iowa: Snickers Salad (snickers candy bars+apple+whipped toppings+cream cheese...) Dead | X|

North Dakota: Cookie Salad (crushed cookies+whipped toppings+canned fruits...) Dead | X|

I'm usually quite adventurous and will eat everything; but I'm not certain about those 4 recipes.

(*) to be fair, it is what was googled for prior to Thanksgiving!)

I'd rather be phishing!

I'll agree on the Frogeye Salad, but call me crazy, the others sound tasty!
