C#

What do you think about C#? Does anybody here have any experience with it?

Since I read Slashdot, I got the impression that it was a demon language Microsoft created to choke the entire universe in a sticky net of DRM and fail, but recently I've been looking at it and it actually looks pretty nice.

While Perl, PHP, Python, and Ruby all have no specification, C# has been standardized by Ecma International and ISO/IEC.

No need to wonder. http://blog.reddit.com/2005/12/on-lisp.html

>games are not useful.

Meh. It was just an example.

>emacs is not useful.

I beg to differ, as do many others.

"Emacs is undoubtedly the most powerful programmer's editor in existence."
-- Eric S. Raymond

"If you are a professional writer—i.e., if someone else is getting paid to worry about how your words are formatted and printed—emacs outshines all other editing software in approximately the same way that the noonday sun does the stars. It is not just bigger and brighter; it simply makes everything else vanish."
-- Neal Stephenson

>scientific applications that suck so bad i end up writing my own instead are not useful.

I don't know about that. Maxima is pretty fuckin' cool.
