Didn't create the language, but had to implement a parser for RELAX NG Compact[0] years ago (in PHP!!). It was to provide a client the flexibility they "needed" for data validation specifications. It was a mess. We suggested

C# is _guided_ by Microsoft. You can join in on the language design if you want[1]. The .NET platform is now completely open source[2]. The compiler (Roslyn), tooling (cli), the runtime (coreclr), and the standard library (corefx) are all l

Fresh out of college (2004), I worked at a company that was a VB.NET shop and one of the tasks I started with was porting a bunch of ASP (not .Net) pages to ASP.NET using VB.NET. I absolutely loved the language, coming from a Java/C++

But SE manages their own ads, they've shown how to be responsible with ads. If that changes, then I will change it.

They've also got some star imports in there (there's an issue for it). I'm sure that they'd appreciate help in cleaning it up.

Exit polling is different than the results the OP was asking about. The exit polls last night were wrong, they were predicting a Clinton win. See others for what actually happens. There's reporters sitting at county clerk offices.
