That's true, but it's still a bad language.

This is not the forum for such discussions.

I think you'll find it was Borland Delphi that was the fore runner and
that much of .NET was developed by the same guy originally from Borland.
The only language worth bothering with in .NET is C# (an ECMAScript rip
off). Thing is you almost make it sound like .NET is a "good thing"
above??

You should discuss this in an appropriate forum. You will have an
appropriate audience. I think you will immediately discover you need to
learn more on the subject.

I think you will learn that Borland Delphi is not relevant. Borland Delphi
is a modified version of Pascal, and I am nearly certain that it does not
have the equivalent of .Net; see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphi_programming_language

I am nearly certain that the .Net environment and the C# language are
open-standard equivalents to the Java Virtual Machine and the Java language.
Also, Java is very close to C++ and I am nearly certain that C# is too. I am
not familiar with C#, but I consider C++ to be too kludgey and cryptic for
common use. C++ is my prefered language, but I think it is not best for
common use.

So please go to a more appropriate forum and make that statement that C# is
"an ECMAScript rip off". I expect that that statement will be quickly
corrected. For one thing, C# is also an ECMA standard; see:
