.NET Framework

So, i'm currently studying programming in the .NET language, basically C#. I have to admit i like this thing, it gives you a lot of tools for developing, and the fact that i can program in different languages, including VB, without changing the program result (as in speed and whatnot), is quite good.

I know that usually you guys hate microsoft to death, but i think this time they did something acually useful. Does anyone have any opinions or experience with the thing?

please, NO FUCKING TROLLS, if that's even possible.

Try looking into Scheme, Common Lisp, Haskell, O'Caml, Erlang, Smalltalk and others. Reading SICP first would be a good idea.

If you really want to stay in the MS universe and and don't want to install external toolchains or learn *nix'ish tools, you could try F#, it's Microsoft's O'Caml clone, and will let you use the .NET libraries too.
