how do i learned .net

So i guess all the cool kids are learning c# and whatev.
Should I?

I'm not too keen on the virtual machine/bitcode witchcraft so basically what else am i missing?

The idea of a virtual machine is a good one - you write the code and compile it to an intermediary form.  This intermediary form can then be taken to any platform, and optimized for the local architecture by the virtual machine.  It can even spit out pure binary if its algorithms decide that is the most efficient way to do things.

Of course, .Net is full of failure due to its limited platform - thus reducing one of the major benefits of a virtual machine.

Fuck OO. GOTO or GTFO.

Ah yes, almost forgot - Microsofts compilers fail at optimizations too.  Put a try-catch-throw in your code, with nothing in the catch at all (other than a throw of the exception) and then check out the disassembly.  The compiler isn't smart enough to figure out that try-catch-throw is entirely without true function, and will literally catch the exception, stop the stack unwind, then rethrow it, and start unwinding the stack again.  Even in release build it does this.

is the mono compiler smart enough to figure that out?

Why, of course, it's open-sauce!
