    Or is language/syntax of C# getting more obtuse with each new release ? Its almost getting VBish ? Oh for the days of syntactic purity of C.

          Horses for courses . Back in the day we did everything in C . These damn new tools are much more productive , if not as fast executing . I doubt if I have the ability to either code or persuade my employers that we should code in C . Feel kind of sad though 'Born to code in C' was not just a book .

            I've heard people call C powerful, concise, expressive, portable, successful... but this is the first time I hear anybody calling it pure :)

                  You've never written a C parser have you? Or worse yet a C++ one. "purity" is NOT one of the words that comes to my mind.

                    They are adding more features to it; sometimes even adding shorter syntax for certain things (e.g., automatic properties and lambdas). However, everything that worked in it before still works in it.

                      Holly cr*p, you just recalled a horrible memories in my head, I’ve did parsers with the both languages for embedded systems. At least it’s challenging and satisfying experience and makes you feel a real programmer.
