Have you not seen mono? C# on Windows, Linux, OSX. Don't confuse C# with .NET. C# is a language that sits on the .NET platform. Same as Delphi.
Why would anyone use c#? Ease of use, speed of development, huge runtime library, community, multi-platform (Windows, SmartPhone, PocketPC, now Palm, and Linux and Mac using Mono). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil Scadden Sent: Wednesday, 16 November 2005 11:40 a.m. To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Quiet Delphi (was RE: [DUG] migrate app from firebird to informix) <snip> Why anyone uses C# is something of mystery to me. What is the perceived advantage over Java? Moving to another language without cross-platform (esp unix) support isnt a go for me. ---------------------------------------------------------- Phil Scadden, Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences 764 Cumberland St, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand Ph +64 3 4799663, fax +64 3 477 5232 -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
