C# language is evolving like no tomorrow. Anders-the-Delphi does it well.
Something that many commercial environments do not appreciate.
Er, I don’t get it… it just looks like a bit of mickey mouse syntactical sugar…?

It reminds me how did I modified Java to support
Vector a, b, c
c = a dot b;
It was done in a way to don’t polute namespace, and also to clearly mark difference between this, and a standard Java code.
Slightly different example would be
Imaginary c = 3 + 2i;
a = c+b;
Integrating SQL into a language, and OS, is insanely bad. It was badly designed, it was desinged to work with certain types of databases, and it’s incredibly inefficient. Expect speed dropout by 1.5 and bad habits for programmers.
And of course before you’d ask, I have certification C++/SQL programmer.
Until the evcolution is decent performance, Im not threatened.
The one thing I kept asking myself throughout the video was “What about performance?”.
Über optimizers don’t have to use any new features, such as some java coders probably won’t use Generics. But many many project do appreciate a cleaner source code and structure of the application.
