A friend of mine keeps asking me to dump Lisp and "Get modern" with C#, and I try to explain why I prefer Lisp, but he won't accept it.
It was Paul Graham's essay that encouraged me to try Lisp in 2005.
- gridspy 17y agoI'm just dreading the day that Microsoft decides that C# isn't modern enough and they want to sell a whole bunch of seats of Visual Studio (insert new name here)
- icey 17y agoThey release new versions of Visual Studio every few years, and C# is updated almost as regularly. C# / .net 4.0 will be released this year (as will Visual Studio 2010). The differences between C# 1.0 and 4.0 are enormous. Microsoft isn't shy about making changes to the language.
