CEO who trashed .NET developers
-
Well - after reading your responses, I really wonder if anyone of you thought about the article ... This guy doesn't say really he will not hire any .NET dev, and also he isn't really ranting about .NET He only says that if one exclusively (or almost) is developing for .NET, she will have no clue (or loose the clue) for what's going on really BEHIND the compiler. While that might be ok for todays super duper desktop PCs, in i.e. embedded systems it would be a nightmare (you can't rely on a GC that frees memory a couple of seconds later than possible) And he states that PURE .NET developers are a bit inflexible 'cause of the bounds (restrictions) of the framework. Last point: he named the .NET a language, but isn't it one ? (.NET framework == MSIL) == TRUE
What you want to bring logic and common sense to a flame war, shame on you. Let them play, it keeps the rest of us entertained.

The CEO of some startup trashed .net developers in a flamebait post that has been Slashdotted: http://blog.expensify.com/2011/03/25/ceo-friday-why-we-dont-hire-net-programmers/[^] Binary Playhouse responded with this post: http://www.binplay.com/2011/03/why-ceos-should-not-be-hired-to-write_28.html[^] But of course the CEO hasn't responded and Slashdot supposedly pulled the BP response even though it was voted up. Let's keep passing it around until everyone knows what an ass he is.
Maybe its just jealousy by people not able to release code at the same pace as a .Net dev. I've developed in a few IDE's : Borland C++ (dos), Delphi, Borland Visual C++, Eclipse , Visual Studio and by far I find VS the best of the lot. While other languages are similar in syntax ( java etc ) , I found that working with their IDE's was just that much bigger of a pain in getting something done. For example, I've developed for mobile using VS 2005 and VB to windows CE devices, yet comparing that to developing in Java for BlackBerry is like chalk and cheese. Yes, Eclipse is open and all is well and good but companies\SME's etc expect results, not developers taking unnecesary longer periods to complete projects.

Read the rest, don't just stop at C++ "PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Dwoo" I'll wager a LOT that very little C++ is actually used. Or that it's used in the mobile apps section, and most of that is pretty trivial.

I read the whole thing, just don't think C++ should be called a web toy.
