    Which programming language you like the most and why? What feature(s) you love the most? Is there any other feature(s) that you wish to present in the language you are working on?

    As long as it can be used to program Angry Birds, I'm happy. :rolleyes:

      Surprisingly (and it did surprise me) C# - if I discount Assembler. Features I'd like added? Not really, but I'd like var removed except for Linq returns.

          You forgot about Bacon. Lots and lots of Bacon. [Edit] Who in their right mind would 1 vote a Bacon post???? Good god for the love of bacon!?!?

          BACON transcends languages and is a life-giving food of the Gods.

                  Oh please no! Multiple inheritance opens such a large bag of pain. Interfaces give you that [to some degree] and I don't want any more.

                        Just a theory, but I would guess that then 99.99999999% of those times you would impliment and two months later say to yourself "ohhhhhh thats why that is not .Net compliant" ;) Just saying, it seems like it would be good up front (I thought the same when I realized I couldn't). But there is actually logical reasoning for it. Kind of like why things are base 0 index.

                                SQL. Because it's the best way to access and manipulate the data I need to access and mess with, and I can use it via a number of other (general-purpose) programming languages (C#, VB.net, C, etc.) as appropriate.

                                    That's a new language I am working on. Like many language names, it's actually an acronym : Binary Abstraction of Code and Other Notations

                                      var in C# is not like var in some other languages. The var in C# is strongly typed based on what the type is of the object assigning to it. Quite a bit different than being loosely typed.
