Just out of curiosity: what makes you so sure about C#? C# has some potential big
problems, too: in particular, the ability to declare a portion of the code "unsafe,"
which can encourage unsafe programming among entrenched C/C++ programmers.
I myself am in no big hurry to master C#. I'd rather use a set of domain-specific
languages with interlinked code, rather than a single language that purports to be as
general-purpose as C# does.
