rant about .NET
-
On one hand, MS tells us that ".NET is a new programming paradigm that brings better productivity, where developers don't need to care about memory management anymore" (.NET is depicted as an easier platform to program) (managed code means that a garbage collector manages for us all underlying allocations/deallocations). "In addition, the .NET API ensures legacy code can be reused thanks to interop techniques". (the very core of the .NET run-time, actually). On the other hand, I became mad when I watched this MSDN TV show[^] from a MS person known as the COM interop queen. Can someone tell me if I went nuts thinking that MS is faking, lying and insulting customers with .NET when they are saying that .NET solves any of those issues. If you have 10 minutes of spare time, don't hesitate to watch this show[^]. And tell me too how do you think how easy .NET solves issues like memory management and interoperating with "legacy" code (C/C++/VB/...). Crystal clear, isn't it ? I am confident now that MS evangelists are clowns.

It was all clear as mud to me :wtf:

I'm pretty much barf up my lunch whenever I here how a language or framework is going to improve productivity. I loved the line at the VS.NET 2003 launch, where the MS presenters were saying how on exactly the same hardware, they demonstrated an up to 8 times performance improvement just by migrating to the newest OS/server shit. Give me a break. Every new OS needs a faster processor, more RAM, and a bigger hard drive. How these people even can say these statements without God striking them dead with a lightning bolt is beyond me. Come-on. Windows 3.1 could be installed off of floppy diskettes, for Christ sake. Stephane Rodriguez. wrote: where developers don't need to care about memory management anymore" The joke I liked was the automated cockpit saying "please wait for memory garbage collection" as the pilot frantically pushes the "lower landing gear" button. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

Or, they could be waiting 'til they have a critical mass of patents, enforce them all at once and win the game of Risk that they're playing with the world." Chris Sells Feb 18, 2003.

From my knowledge, Mr. Gates started as a BASIC programmer, and BASIC has garbage collection. From my knowledge many programmers preferred languages without garbage collection, disregarding Mr. Gates' profound comprehension of a computer languages. .NET is his second try to convince the world that only he is right. And what will happen if someone finds a hole in the .NET manager? Imagin' you get access to the memory list, save it to disk, with all datas accompanied, and later on send it per e-mail to someone who needs this data. G. Steudtel Even dwarfs were born small.

.NET memory management means that if you leak memory, your computer will only slow down, but it won't crash. It's crap. I'd prefer C++, where at least I have destructors I can use to clean up memory. Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder
