This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

After close to two decades of programming, C# is still the best language I've used. While some of the newer features seem a bit weird, I'd say it's one of the few languages that has never got in the way and has just let me write code that made sense. Even with all the improvements Java has made over the years it's still nowhere near as good as what C# was like maybe 15 years ago.

The same goes for everyone's other "fav" language, Python. Ruby has been a better beginner scripting language than Python for many years, and while Rails is definitely a ghetto, as a language Ruby is great at teaching great programming fundamentals.
