      And thus, I'm so blissfully happy to be doing C# again.

      Never really had to touch C#, but isn't that just Microsoft's rip off of Java? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Java_Virtual_Machine#Sun_vs._Microsoft …

      They got sued by Sun for implementing Java, and lost, so they discontinued it, but I think they just basically renamed it C# and kept developing it.

      Replying to @jeffpicard @freebsdfrau and

      Pretty much yes, but they pulled Anders Hejlsburg from Delphi and turned C# into a really great language. Very expressive, and avoided some of the mistakes Java made around generics etc.

      Replying to @BrowningMachine @freebsdfrau and

      Makes sense, kind of how Google grabbed Ken Thompson and Rob Pike to make Go. I'm a C guy originally so I'm inherently biased, but I'd take Go over Java or C# in a heartbeat (I have heard great things about Borland though). Goroutines and Channels are game changers.

      I'd take C# over java (linq, type inference) but I'd take a whack on the head over either

      I can't remember who, but I think someone once said something like: I'd love to be paid to write and maintain my own perl code, but you couldn't pay me enough to work with someone else's.

      I worked with other people's Perl code. I don't know what the big deal is, Perl isn't particularly worse than other dynlangs. Sure the sigils are weird but have you seen C++

      Replying to @whitequark @jeffpicard and

      I didn't know people thought the sigils were weird, they make sense to me. worst pitfalls I see are people screwing up definedness checking, scalar/array context, and usual dynamic typing mishaps

          How much of it is Object Oriented Perl? (a personal fav -- not sarcasm)

          it's mostly oop (including a handrolled orm core to the system, the codebase is going on 15 years) though the abstractions are violated pervasively

          "the abstractions are violated pervasively" <-- As esoteric as this sounds out of context I think it applies pervasively in programming, math, and philosophy where abstractions are wont to be violated.

          Dynamic languages are why we can't have nice things.
