Real time

[Lionel]

Hi,

I would like to write a real time program.
I usually use C++, but i was wondering if C# would be as efficient ?
And what about C++.Net ?

Thanks.

I've heard that there are ways to do it, but I wouldn't choose .NET as
a platform for real-time development, because the garbage collector
makes it difficult to predict round trips in situations with hard real
time deadlines. I'm assured that it's not impossible (I can't see how,
but I'm assured it's not), but it strikes me as akin to pushing on a
rope.

I would stick with C++, where you can predict everything the runtime
will do.

It's lots of fun to develop in C#, but every tool has its limitations.
