Jeepers... anonymity is beautiful, isn't it?
Well no, because it's me....
If you said something like that to a person's face, you'd be viewed as a Grade-A Dick by all of your colleagues.
Doesn't alter that they wouldn't be able to give me a convincing answer though. There are times when managed code gives you certain advantages, particularly from a server point of view, but the notion that managed code is the way to do everything is just complete and utter bollocks. From a client perspective managed code is close to useless. It doesn't make development easier, it doesn't make your applications run better - in fact all it does is turn your applications into raving resource hogs for zero benefit. There are some alleged security benefits, but they all evaporate completely when you start writing everything as managed code. All you're doing is running an environment within an environment.
It's amazing how much people get carried away on a blanket of hype.
when I spoke of managed code, I was more referring to certain languages that happen to be very popular in industry presently, ie: Java and C#.
