Why Microsoft can Blow-Off with C#?
Why Microsoft can Blow-Off with C#? These people have thought up programming languages Fortran, Prologue, Ada. Each of these languages had weight of advantages, everyone had any innovative features for time. Any of them has not received a wide circulation.
But C and Unix which have "cooked" by Kernigan, Ritchie and Thompson, used already for thirty years, and will be used for 100 years more.
Here is Alan Kay and Kristen Nygaard. They have thought up the first object-oriented languages - Smalltalk and Simula. Any of these languages has not received a wide distribution as well.
Here is Brad Cox. It has tried to add means OO in C. Language Objective C has turned out. This language has not received distribution as well. Now it has only limited apply in Mac OS.
The same attempt was undertaken by other person. His name is Bjarne Stroustrup. One sight at Stroustrup's face is enough to understand, that C++ much more successful then other languages
Not the law is clear? There is a beard - there is a success. There is no beard - you are guilty.
Eifell, Scheme, Cecil, Haskell, Erlang - great languages, but no one except profs are working with them
He is Thomas Kurtz. He is the author of the BASIC. Though he does not have beard, the BASIC has received a wide circulation. And bad glory.
The "catch" is in moustaches. Perl is the one more language widespread almost as the BASIC and having almost same bad glory. It has written Larri Wall. Look what moustaches he has.
The authors of others script languages have no moustaches. Ruby and the Python is better, than Perl, but meet where less often than Perl. There is, however, a hope for Van Rossum, suddenly will grow a beard. It is not necessary to count on Mr. Matsumoto - at Japanese the beard grows badly.
The authors of Lisp and Pascal
And the last, but not the least, this woman - the founder of the most hated language in history-Cobol !
And after that someone can doubt of a failure .Net? Look at that:
