Alright - before it becomes a troll =)
I have no definitive opinion on C#. I don't use it, don't really care about it, and yeah the fact that bloats comes with successive versions doesn't mean there weren't improvements as well.
In fact, bloat is often the price to pay for completeness/usefulness, and as I see it, C# is both quite complete and very useful (makes up for a lot of jobs now).
I'd expect a modern language to be either very minimalistic like Io, or very expressive like Scala, or very straight-forward like Python.
But I guess this is a point that would gain to be elaborated in a blog post or something - we're too limited here in the comment to say much of value.
- scott_s 17y agoIf you're ignorant of C#, then you probably shouldn't make declarations about it. Your definition of "modern," while reasonable, is not a commonly accepted one, so be careful about using it without defining it.
- nddrylliog 17y agoYou're right, now that I'm a public person, I must be careful what I declare. (Damn you, scope) No seriously - who cares what I say? ;)
- ighost 17y agoNo one cares what you say until you start flaming something you know nothing about. Then some people develop a need to set the record straight.
