If Relf can write code that is faster than the built in Regex object in

c/c++ programming...then the whole exercise is ridiculous.

It condemns all code written in c# to being substandard. 


Substandard?  Or Different?  I think that you miss the entire exercise.  C++
was not released because it was faster than C code.  C code was not released
because it was faster than assembly.  They were all released because they
brought to the table, better code management and faster development cycles.
C# is not being released as a replacement to C++ and C and assembly.  It is
being released because it brings with it better code management and better
time to deployments for most projects.

I'd like to see any of you super code dudes write a windows database
application in half the time it takes to do in C#.  Sure your apps might be
faster in the end, but fact of life is, code updates will be done faster in
C# as well as deployment.  In fact, we'd probably sell 100 copies before you
even got your products into beta.

So stop arguing speed and talk facts.

Well if you are talking database apps and you can do it in half the time as a (super code dude) then I can beat your time by another 50% using Microsoft Visual FoxPro as the front end and run circles around both apps. :)
