RE: [Dev-C++] C#

[Ramana K. <ra...@my...>]

ok, cool, so C# is interpreted? (and always will be? - i guess it has to be)
that is great news to me.
from what i read tonight (on the internet at various places) C# is designed
primarily at enterprise level, to drastically increase productivity and
convenience at the cost of a loss in C++'s raw power.
so, i guess C# is more a replacement of java than of c++?
cristian wrote that he is learning c# and that it can do all that c++ does
and is as easy as vb (which are all correct for this purpose) and it just so
happens that i was in the middle of writing a long program using win32api in
c++ which i anticipate to finish in a year or two (one man job!). my fear
was that i should be looking at switching to c# in this early stage of
development. it seems now, hopefully, that c++ is still the way to go?
thanks cristian and others

it can do all c++ do and is easy as vb so ... i

yes beacuse c# is a interpreted language by .net machine (as i know)and
like java windows app are sloow sa c++ is a fast alternative
you can't write time critical app in c# or java so ...
