    My number one reason that C# 1.0 was half baked. And, there's still people using those non generic containers.

    Yes, sadly there are a lot of folk who use non-generic collections. I change them to generic collections every time I see one. :)

    Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

            Exactly !!! Good thing I am in the US for it. Imagine if I was down under, I bet they don't get raptured...

              Yeah, I'm sitting on a plane in Boston right now waiting to go home. No rapture on this thing.

                Generics are for academics only, much too complicated for normal programmers. And casts work just fine, right? That was the view of the C# and CLR teams. Generics weren't "left out" of .NET 1.0; they weren't planned for. And they almost didn't make it into .NET 2.0. Apparently, generics had low priority compared with features like being able to run the CLR inside SQL Server... See here for background info: .NET/C# Generics History (Don Syme's blog)[^]

                I've been interviewing candidates a fair bit recently, and unfortunately, a lot of people still seem to have trouble *writing* generic classes and methods.

                  I think they get raptured backwards in the southern hemisphere.

                    No rapture here in Aus, but a good excuse to get pissed as farts. We had a Pre-Rapture party Friday, a Jesus' Second Housewarming party on Saturday (he never rocked up, rude prick) and then a Life Goes On party on Sunday... Now I'm back at work with bloodshot eyes and a headache that makes me wish the world had ended...
