C-Sharp Syntax, what does it resemble the most C++? VB? Java?

?

answered- Java. MS is competely ripping it off, but hopefully that is a good thing.

Rip Java off !!! You must be day dreaming

[Jprisco]

Well this all comes down to which came first C, C++, Java, etc... as we all know C was here first so do we say that Java ripped C off?
or did it rip C++ off..
What I don't see here is that no one had mentioned Delphi or C++ builder from Borland. I think that C# is more of a C++ builder ripp off.
not that its a bad thing. I wouldn't call it ripp of but an improvement. If we all hate MS so much why are we still using MS developing environments?

First thing I though when learning java was that the syntax resembled c++, which I learned first...
however there are lots and lots of differences.
To say Java is to C++ as c# is to java would be rediculous.... example do you have System.out.println() in c++ ??
yet in c# we hava a System.Console.Writeline()
//forgive me if caps are off!!!
The thing that bothers me is the resemblence of the apis, and general concepts of c# which are despite names, even if that, the same....
If it were truelly an improvement to java Im sure developers would be pleased but in my opinion it is not an improvement at all!! Im not sure its an improvement to C++ either!!
As for hating microsoft, I dont!! They have done many great things, and have created some outstanding software!! However this C# in my opinion was a mistake....
As for developement enviornments Im agnostic!!!
Ill use linux/windows makes little difference to me, just give me a console, an editer and compiler and Ill be Happy :0)

"To say Java is to C++ as c# is to java would be rediculous.... example do you have System.out.println() in c++ ??"

in C++ you can have that same function if you make it.. the question is not what libraries the language has but the syntax. and Java's syntax is very symilar to C and C++.

C# is a .NET language for those who like the "curly brace" family of languages. It's based mostly on C++ from a syntactical point of view, but it borrows from a number of different languages.

Hey buddy, why don't you look at some code? Or try it yourself? Why must you waste 10 other people's time while they sit here and try to explain it to you. If you're already this far, and posting on this board, you can find some code yourself and see the syntax!
