dude! microsoft is not just enterprise. they have the biggest r&d lab with some really awesome shit going on. linq is made by the haskell guy. well the haskell guy was a microsoft guy. but you get the idea. it did not grow inside of the .net enterprise culture. it grew outside of it. I never had any qualms about c# as a language. but that's also not what we're discussing. just like f# is wonderful. but it too did not grow inside, but outside. they're being really smart about tying it into the enterprise as much as possible therefore guaranteeing it's future though.
