GUIs existed before the Macintosh or PC, for that matter.

And .NET existed before we knew about it. I think not more than say 10,000 people in the US had even considered GUIs when it was still in PARC (and noone from the outside had seen it yet).

The GUI got widely recognized with the Mac, and the .NET got widely recognized about two or three years ago, as in "most people has heard of the term somewhere", although it's still building up.

It is going to be a while before .NET is the main thing offered my microsoft. They are gradually phasing out their older Visual Studio series. It will be a while before you have to use .NET if you want to develop via Microsoft, but that is from the corporate point of view.

But as an amateur programmer, nothing says you have to use .NET nor do you have to use Java, or C, or VB. As long as the language does what you want it to do, who cares.

Also, C# isn't a only .NET thing. There are C# compilers that will compile into binary executables that do not depend on the runtimes. However, they do not get the adequate testing that Microsoft or other corporations do and thus your code might be correct but the compiler is at fault.

How are we to be able to distinguish you from people talking out of their asses just because they don't like Microsoft, and how are we to learn from or understand your reasons if you won't mention them? Granted, the "xenophobia" thing was a bait. I was truly interested in seeing what a ROM hacking veteran like yourself was thinking.


Shaw! I figure you could have distinguished the difference rather easily. Afterall, you did end up calling me a "ROM hacking veteran" ... That should be a good hint that I have at least half a brain. Maybe not much more than half, but at least half, you know? Oh well.

Oh, speaking of interpreted applications which attempt to avoid memory leaks and segmentation faults and whatnot... Did we all forget that even interpreted applications are not error proof? I mean, they aren't any less error prone, even. How many Visual Basic programs have you seen which exit with such-and-such error message? Probably quite a few, if you've used any VB apps at all. Just because the interpreter can catch an error such as "Subscript out of range" does not mean it's any better at preventing and\or fixing the problem than any other program. *shrug*

Mono? (Quick edit for clarity: Yes, I know Microsoft isn't maintaining Mono.


dotGNU is also another non-Microsoft version of the .NET framework. It's probably not as complete as Mono, but at least it has a System.Windows.Forms implementation (basically, the whole GUI part of the proper .NET framework, which Mono lacks). Once Mono gains that feature, I can see it getting a lot more popular. (Currently, it's just one of those quirky new things that nobody really writes serious stuff in)
