Do you always respond to someone who disagrees with you by attacking
them ?
I really fail to see what I said that should provoke that type of
response.
This is precisely why I do not like language wars. And why I absolutely
do not want to see them in a book. And when I saw your post asking
others to give their reasons for prefering C# (or Delphi), I wanted to
be clear that subjective reasoning IMO should not be in a book. If you
have some hard core facts that categorically will show that one
language is superior, then by all means publish away.
I stated right at the start of this thread, that personally I prefer C#
as a language over Delphi, this is a totally subjective position on my
part, because the first 12 years of my programming life was with C, the
last 9 and a bit being Delphi, now you can't use a language like Delphi
for 9 and bit years without loving it as well. (in fact go to the help
about box in D8 and type TEAM whislt holding down the alt key and you
will see my name in there along with the rest of the team...eventually)
I simply do not agree with your position that C# is a better language.
It is different, that's all, IMO. I am sure that for every "point" that
you make for C# I can make one for Delphi.
Why on earth would I assume that your quote "I was refering to product
price Tim" meant that you were talking about the purchase of both
products, the rest of your messages in the thread seems (to me anyway)
to make the case for one OR the other, that's what I was responding to.
