uh, yeah...
"C#'s principal designer and lead architect at Microsoft is Anders
Hejlsberg.
His previous experience in programming language and framework design (Visual
J++, Borland Delphi, Turbo Pascal) can be readily seen in the syntax of the
C# language, as well as throughout the Common Language Runtime (CLR) core. In
interviews and technical papers he has stated ***flaws*** in most major
programming languages, C++, Java, Delphi, Smalltalk, drove the fundamentals
of the CLR, which, in turn, drove the design of the C# programming language
itself."
Anders Hejlsberg is one of the most respected software engineers in
the world, who has proven himself many times. Forgive me if I don't
have the same respect for your uninformed gibberish.

Beagle? <Especially--- remove worse than zmd, zen>
Beagle is actually quite useful and relatively efficient compared to
other indexing engines. Any indexing engine will slow your machine
down while it is running, that is a choice up to the individual user.
Banshee? <remove>
I don't use it either, but there are an increasing number of
applications built on mono.
Micro$oft's .NET initiative is e v i l . (like most every other
lockin
they've invented)
mono is a free portable implementation of the .net standard, so
claiming it is microsoft lockin is rather silly. c# & .net core are
EMCA standards, and a patent licence is granted to any implementors.
The mono project will remove or work around any patent encumbered
code.
Since Micro$oft has not detailed the supposed patent infringements they
claim
to have against linux... do you suppose that some of those will have anything
whatever to do with the .NET initiative... or the M$ development of C#?
Ps. The language of *nix is C/C++. The connectivity of *nix is ip
sockets.
c/c++ is still widely used, but the future is managed code -
java/.net. The corporate world has already embraced it. Managed code
is safer, less error prone, and can be faster. Just because Microsoft
creates something doesn't make it bad. Microsoft Research in
particular puts out a lot of interesting stuff.
Pss. The lockin of M$ is IP.
This is irrelevant.
