"From where I sit, Ruby has the language thought leadership position and
is the competitor I hope AndersH is losing the most sleep over nowadays"
Don Box - Gosling on Ruby
This month's DDJ issue shares the similar thought in its article "Ruby On Rails" subtitled "It makes development fast, agile manageable"
I'm not sure if I'm eligible to do a comparative analysis b/w C# 3.0 and Ruby but with LINQ, DLINQ and XLINQ in prospect, I'd certainly admire the advent provided in this version of C#. Being able to do this is awesome and it's just scratching the surface.
public void Linq1() {
int[] numbers = { 5, 4, 1, 3, 9, 8, 6, 7, 2, 0 };
var lowNums =
from n in numbers
where n < 5
select n;
Console.WriteLine("Numbers < 5:");
foreach (var x in lowNums) {
Console.WriteLine(x);
}
}
Result
Numbers < 5:
4
1
3
2
0

i just wanted to say hello.
and how is life after my dad? my guess is that it's quieter and less random-movie-quotey.
