I would have really wanted to hear Eric's the argument for C# speed vs C++. I hope he will write an article about it in his blog .

You should take a look at this blog post series: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ricom/archive/2005/05/10/416151.aspx

Raymond Chen writes a Chinese/English dictionary program in C++, Rico Mariani does the same in C#, and they compare results. It's really interesting to read.

This was incredibly enjoyable, thank you for an hour well spent!

I also think IQbservable is pretty horrible. Even IQObservable (eye queue observable) would be a lot better. But I think the full IQueryableObservable is best, especially since I'm almost never actually going to type the name, just like IQueryable and IEnumerable in LINQ context. The 'var' keyword takes care of most cases, and IntelliSense takes care of the rest. Consider that to write foo.AsQueryableObservable all I need to type into VS2010 is "foo.AQO", and that the clarity of the name is more important than a bit of extra typing.

By the way, don't think that the name was the most interesting part of the vid, it's just the only part we have something to disagree on
