How can a programming language claim that it is the most suitable way of
coding an application on both client side and server side. We have today
almost our cell phones as servers or clients. So a language preference is not
merely the things it promise, but the ease you find in it.

What makes .NET attractive to me is that it provides me with extensive
usability, which I can hardly find in Java development.
