Therefore, C# *in any form* is simply a non-starter.
Now if only I can convince some engineers here of that.
In my experience it is thankless to try to snatch the koolade away from
those who would drink it.
Why is "koolade" a "non-starter"?
First, Lan, can you give me any useful stock tips (since you seem to be
emailing from about 12 minutes in the future)?
In the spirit of responding to a jest with a ponderous lecture,

Interesting. I never knew the phrase "Don't drink the Kool-Aid." or
anything else about that. I remember Jonestown.
And at the house of a friend of my brother, as I was reaching for the
Kool-Aid in the fridge, my brother told me "You don't want that." and I
took him at his word. He didn't have to say it. I knew. But not
because of an association with Kool-Aid, rather because of an
association with my brother and his friends.
But I learned from this:
1. it is kool-aid, not koolade
Actually, Flavor-Aid. And this I did not know until reading the
Wikipedia piece.
2. the phrase originated from the LSD culture, not Jonestown
3. you can find damn near anything in wikipedia
How? Both times I've tried I get a page that says that there were no
entries with that title. I usually resort to vivisimo and just select
from there.
I already knew it was really "Flavor Aid." Doesn't have quite the same
ring, does it?
I turned 4 years old in 1970. I think by that time Kool-Aid was the
common term. I was not aware of "Flavor Aid".
