I have a system already written in C# and .NET which I started in 2003. I have been happy with using c# and .NET as it has a good class structure, and also Winforms works well for writing client-server applications. Recently, I have seen much less interest in C# from developers.
I want to integrate search results from twitter into the current system and I am thinking of what languages to use. I have googled what language to use, and the limits of JSON and ATOM have placed some restrictions on what I can do. Especially, some developers have complained about performance issues using C# and .NET related to serialization of the data. Does anyone have any experience of Twitter API's and especially the search? If so, are there are machine performance issues, or issues with finding open source code?
