Dynamic variables are nothing to shake a stick at, imo.

I was going to post tomorrow's survey as "Does the thought of Dynamic variables make you break out in a cold sweat?" Nice idea, but I can just picture the code that is going to come from developers who don't understand when and where to use them. And not use them.

Please try explaining that logic to the manufacturers and distributors of firearms. I'd love to live in a world where things like this[^] are unheard of.

Heck, it gives me nightmares. I have enough trouble getting variables to hold the values I gave them!

But, but, you had those in C++ and VB(A). How many times can you complete your life (if you're not a cat)? :)

VB has had those since... oh... the dinosaurs. So C# 4.0 is really VB in disguise? ;P

VS for C/C++ programmers (not necessarily MFC) has sucked since the end of VS 6. You want help with that function? No, you have too many template classes. It is nice that they continue to make their tabs rounder, and their gradients smoother. I've always said, "you know what VS could use? More gradients!"

Mmm, you'll be waiting an awfully long time. Every gun in the world could be destroyed and you'd still get random stabbings, baseball battings, getting run over by cars... the very nature of freedom is one of risk. That's the nature of reality as we currently inhabit it. Now, if we could invent an alternate reality where freedom and absolutely perfectly responsible behavior went hand in hand... but I digress.

you mean like in javascript? :rolleyes:

Optional parameters would be damn handy.

A w00t for that! Jesus Chris, what you doing for Code Projects 9th birthday? Feel like a leisurely flight to Sydney and a few hours of drinking over at old Mount Druitt? You can even bring your snowboard along, we could do with the shade.

Optional parameters are, imho, a bad thing, most of the time. It's a more structured variation of the "Accumulate and fire" antipattern. All too often, optional parameters are actually fields in a class that you are missing. And, if you're missing fields, you're missing methods. This, on the long run, means longer methods, repeated code, and harder to test. For quick and dirty code, it's a good tool, but not on larger projects.

You know how many string.Format methods there are? 5 You know how many have actual code (instead of calling another overload)? 1 And that is just one example, there are lots of overloads in the .NET frameworks that do nothing else. I don't see how you could handle this with extra fields...

True. So, with that logic, why not sell nuclear bombs at K-Mart? :)
