"As they say, hate the game, not the player." Why? Change the quite strong word "hate" to something less extreme and polarizing and then let's discus why it is OK, acceptable and not out right destructive to setup a

Hmm, imagine nature evolving "non-technological" creatures capable of space-flight... but I better leave the reasons for and implications of such developments to ppl. like N. Stephenson ;)

I would like to suggest to anyone actually providing non-corrupt lobbying services to rename their line of work. Even if legal and ethical definitions of "lobbying" exists, they exist only in the minds of knowledgeable minorities

I think your statements are a little too general, even though you might have a point here: What does it tell about the the real life "interoperability" on the .net platform, when every language needs all the features? My guess wou

Nice. At what point would it make more sense to just leave c# as it is and move on to a new "language"? I like all the changes and more importantly I guess I actually understand the intention and the need for them, at same time I&
