Whats new in C#?

[Uuplaku]

This is a question for all you C-gods out there.

Exactly what changes have been made to make C# what it is? I read a few atricles about it, but the general concensus was that it added new Java-like safety features. Much too vague. Can anyone go into the specifics of what exactly makes C# unique? As a budding C-coder, its high time I actually took interest in this crap.

C# is a compilation of a lot of things, it has some of the same improvements over C++ that Java did, and its also meant to be easier to use, with less jargon, ala Visual Basic. It also has an excellent compiler. It is capable of being compiled and yet run as script if you want, thus giving it a unique flexibilty. It has some other cool features that i cant remember, been a month or 2 since i read about it in depth, Check out http://msdn.microsoft.com for some more info.

C# is about as related to C as Java.

so basically it is C++ with some new marketing terms, and a differnet cout/printf equivalent?
(oh, and you have to add class Blah{} around the program, and make main "static void" ).

hey, i could make millions selling a book that says exactly that ^^^ and call it "java for C++ experts"

Um, no C++ is an OO language that evolved from C, C# is pretty much what you said except MS decided not to compile it to a byte file like java from what I hear...

I've heard two things about it. Java Killer. C++ with full kernel support.
