“According to Anders, generics (parametic polymoprhism) is one of the directions in which C# would evolve. Microsoft already has a prototype of the runtime in generics. “The trick is to proceed with caution,” he advises.” Read the rest of the interview with the creator of C# at TheRegister.

C# is not a game to be played by children like you. You bee heavy hitter with C#
“C# is not a game to be played by children like you. You bee heavy hitter with C#”
My thoughts exactly!
Well, more or less.
All the CLR languages appear to have the limitations of C#. I don’t see how it would be possible to implement .NET compilers for languages which have loose typing or class extensions for example.
What’s the deal with generics? Why does MS want it in C#?
Bjarne Stroustrup (designer of C++) recently presented a 1 hour workshop on the multi-paradigm (e.g. object-oriented, generic) features of C++.
Follow the slides whilst listening to the MP3 lecture here:

He comments that C++ is still the only language that supports all the language features he thinks is important.
… he also does some OS name-dropping in his slides.

“I knoa C#”
I don’t understand what you said. It appears to be a cultural idiom I am unfamiliar with.
Perhaps you would be willing to let the rest of us in on your intelligent insight.
Best regards,

Gee Anders, what do you want to do tonight?
Same thing we do every night, Ballmer. TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

VB.NET is a language with loose typing AFAIK and it compiles. Didn’t use it yet tho. So someone else should confirm/correct this.
VB has changed so much with .NET, I couldn’t really tell. I let you know after I’ve learned VB again.
