While googling to attempt to find a decent explanation of the java.lang.object.wait () behaviour, I came across a wonderful comparison of Java and C#. This is one of the better ones I have ever read, and is absolutely recommended reading for anyone familiar with either language, both, or someone who is getting interested in either. It is actually a very unbiased comparison in my opinion.
The last 3 work days I have been using VS.NET and Microsoft's ECMA implementation. Visual Studio is fairly impressive as an IDE. However, to me, the debugger is what sells that bastard. I am absolutely in love with how easy it is to debug with it. It has only further convinced me that mono/MonoDevelop need 2 things.
In other unrelated news, I thank all of you for your emails about the development platform. Hopefully this week at some point, but for sure by the end of next weekend, I will find some time to collate all your responses and post something here. And for those of you who havn't emailed, this is your last chance before I start swearing at you.
