Simply just have to be better

Friday, January 12. 2007

A lot of C# developers claim that C# language is Java done right. In a way, it is true.

Personally I do prefer the multi-dimensional array declaration in C# over in Java:

int[,,] = new int[2,2,2];
int[][][] = new int[2][2][2];

as well as the exception handling:

try {
  ...
} catch {
}

try {
  ...
} catch (Exception e) {
}

and a few more...

However, if not mistaken, first version of Java language was created back in 1994 whereas C# was invented in 2001 along with .NET introduction. Should we really give credit to this yet another OO language which took 7 years or so to make itself a programming language syntactically better than Java? Or we should just think that with so many years of practical use and feedback given of the languages like C++ and Java by real-world programmers, making C# a better language is just inevitable and straightforward?

I heard that Java is now open sourced, maybe you can rewrite the javac to compile based on c# syntax since you like it so much

Good idea. We can write Syspln instead of System.out.println.
