Scary

"Do the simplest thing possible, but no simpler" -- Einstein

Yesterday I ran across a story about Delphi architect Anders Hejlsberg's turning into Microsoft. And another story about JBuilder architect Blake Stone's turning to Microsoft again. What scary experience for Borland. Designers of the most beloved Borland products are now working for Microsoft. No matter Borland no longer looks exciting.

I just read a series of interviews of Anders Hejlsberg on C#. I have to say that he is really great. And I bought what he said soon. It seems true. C# is born later than Java so it can avoid many of Java's problems. C# is better? People using Java today may only be because of its platform independency.

Yet I agree with another post of a user. I would not like to see more programming language features. That's enough. I don't want more features. I want to master a language and do my work. Don't give me tooo much features. I won't learn them. This is especially the case with D language.
