After trying a few different languages .NET was definitely the fastest outside of C/C++. I didn't feel like learning C++ and then having to build a homebrew everything on top of it.
My history is primarily ECMAScript, so it was very easy for me to pick up C#. Going between ActionScript 3 and C# constantly is a breeze. I couldn't imagine going between say.. Lisp and ActionScript 20 times a day. It would be such a detriment to my productivity.
- cellis 19y agoSeriously, I agree 100%. I code in AS3/ JS/ and C# without a problem. Anytime I have to write SQL or VB (for my newly acquired day job), I cringe because of the syntax. Gotta love those curly brackets :}
- sosuke 19y agoThats reassuring to hear as I am just now picking up C# ASP.NET and am coming from the ECMAScript background. Thanks for your insights.
