wouldn't it be better if there was only one language like c++ or c#
then programmers could spend their time mastering that language
instead of re-learning the basics of another language every few years

The point is not “the soul”, its letting yourself to be controlled by money and corporate culture.

The genius of culture is to create an ontological system so compelling that what is inside and outside of a person are viewed as of a piece, no seams and patches noticeable.

i like being productive.
i like to live comfortably with nice food, a good computer, in a big house.

What you see as motivation to work, and the desire to fit in with society,
is what makes you limited and uninspired: your goals are set in the beginning.
The precedence of your prior choices dictates your life.

I'm free because i can think free. I see things outside their domains: what creates and connects them.
I don't blindly listen to authority. I don't consider emotions of the moment. I don't prejudice on rumors.
I work without concrete plans. There is no limits: I can choose any path. And you can too.

The illusion of “real choice”: its like picking Democrats against Republicans.
You won't see the limits until it becomes clear your path is a dead end.

Microsoft will converge features of Visual Basic and C# languages with planned upgrades to the two platforms, a Microsoft official said this week. The Visual Basic and C# teams "were merged last year, and it's called the Visual Studio managed languages team," said Beth Massi, senior program manager at Microsoft, during the VSLive conference in San Francisco. Also under the team's domain are the F# language, for functional programming, and Microsoft's DLR (Dynamic Language Runtime), supporting dynamic languages on the .Net platform.[1]
ONE LANGUAGE TO RULE THEM ALL!!!
Multi-line and statement lambdas, another ease of use feature saving programmers from having to return values, also is due in both language upgrades. Compiling without primary interop assemblies also will be enabled in both.[1]
