Re: Can someone confirm this?

What's stopping you?

Now that im older, I don't have the time to be hanging around learning new languages, I try slowly, but as you can see in "web development forum", I have a bussniess to run and i can't even get that site up well i probley could, but it would be the uglyiest thing anyones ever seen!

that's a pretty poor reason to pursue learning something, if you're advising someone.

Not really advising.  Just stating what the market is looking like right now, or was looking like (demand could have changed a bit, more or less since I last checked).

Really, I've seen so many declared CS majors go in it to the major for all the wrong reasons.  Money and jobs being one of the top reasons.  Of course they end up changing majors b/c they can't cut it math and programming wise.

Yeah, C# 2 is far superior to any language I've ever used before.

Either you're being sarcastic or you're a dumbass.  Probably both.

I guess the bottom line is if you're writing windowed applications for use on windows only, then the VS2005 IDE and one of the .NET languages is probably a good idea.  If you aren't, use a more efficient language.  I haven't written anything like that in awhile, or had the need to.  And in my personal opinion that target is way too specific.

And the performance benefits of pure ASM or C over C#.NET are not 'slight' - I would hope nobody's deluded enough to believe that.  Again if you're writing a windowed application for the windows platform performance probably isn't a major concern.  Not my line of work by any means.

Or maybe that's the opinion he's entitled to

I've written libraries, even 3D Libraries in .NET. It doesn't get more performance intensive than that. I havn't had any noticeable FPS loss when compared to a game written in a non managed language. Plus, it's benefits are largely noticeable in how fast I can develop something useful.

And the performance benefits of pure ASM or C over C#.NET are not 'slight' - I would hope nobody's deluded enough to believe that.

Sure they are. When writing assembly, you're trying to beat a nonmanaged language compiler and all of it's optimizations. The same goes for the .NET CLR and the optimizations it takes into account while JITing MSIL. You can go ahead and take a step backwards in productivity for minimal speed improvements.

No.  Anyways this discussion is way off topic and pointless, I'm done.

Where'd the first half of this thread go, I certainly didn't start it...
