c# is the okayest language of all time. i don’t mean that it’s completely average in every way – more like it has the most ridiculous fucking design decisions that would occasionally make javascript blush

“let’s add a sql-like duck-typed query dsl inside the language”

“we should add a keyword that just turns off type checking in our strongly typed language”

partial classes

anyway i’m mad about c# because i’m running into a problem that has nothing to do with the language and is purely because i have no idea what im doing

@rowan I was going to say that C# feels like the javascript of C-like languages but C++ has the same kitchen sink design philosophy of just “throw anything in that sounds like it might be a good idea at the time and then support it for two thousand years at the expense of everyone who uses this language”
