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!?!?
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.
BACON transcends languages and is a life-giving food of the Gods.

Ah - a C++ programmer.

Multiple inheritance. :sigh:

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.

You don't have to use it if you don't like it. But .05% of the time it could come in handy. And I want it!

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.

I want a 24-hour live video link to Salma Hayek, but I can't have it.

I'd be really happy if I just get an inheritance from Bill G or Steve J :rolleyes:

OCaml - because it does not have nulls.

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.

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

I'm on-line therefore I am. JimmyRopesI agree - which is why I see it's use and even necessity for Linq. But other than that, it is a sign of laziness, and of "I don't care what this is and I can't be bothered to work it out". Given Intellisense is pretty good, most of the time I have to type no more characters to get the actual type I am going to use than to get
var. So which is easier to maintain? Strongly (but anonymously) typed variables, or the actual class name?Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."

I see both points of view, but
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand();
Seems a bit redundant. I prefer "var" there (especially for generic types). Most other times I use the type - it helps keep code readable. Maybe you should be arguing for coding standards where you work that codify these things (always a shame you need to tell people). Better still, stop employing sloppy programmers.
