And me too. 

@Glen, I'm really looking forward to what this http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Raman-Sharma-Building-Metro-Style-Apps-with-C-and-JavaScript guy have as an answers for you.

@BarryDale companies are in business for profit - agreed. That's why they avoid like an open fire to get locked in just to one particular platform - because it hurts profit. And using this crap which is presented by ms now is locking you in.

@Dave you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. And no C# isn't suitable for high-perf code/app. You must remember that C# is nothing else but java, with the difference that it came out of Microsoft and not from Sun.

@Charles, Since when, expressing one's opinion (even though negative) is a trolling? One have to have right and freedom to do it.

Take a chill pill Charles and relax.

@parker:

Yes.

@gjvdkamp:

1. Perf wise C# is on average 30% to 70% slower than equivalent C++ app.

2. Compile times? What? I think you're forgetting that we (devs) are creating product for users who don't really care what was the time this app was compiled within. All they want is functionality and performance. C++ deliveres it, C# doesn't. As simple as that. 

@Glen:

Couldn't agree more with you, when you say why MS have "their" C++ Renaissance.

@Gert Jan I don't think you saw recently how modern C++ code looks like nor what can be done with it. And as Benjamin said, there is virtually no need to manage memory manually. Libraries are for that. And Benjamin... C# isn't fast enough. 

@Charles, fair play, please accept my appologies Charles. I really mean that.

Let's move along.

Regards 

@Glen, sure, more than happy to do that after Charles apologises Sert.

@Charles, do you think you can do that? Apologies are free.

@Charles, Let's leave it at this, agreed. I, believe it or not, am not a person who looks for <place your idea here>. What I didn't like was the way you responded to Sert, and I've said to you what it looked like. Hopefuly you'll take a lesson from this and never again answer like that to any clients/potential clients of company you work for.
