    I HATE this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This stuff drives me nuts.

    I'm really hard at work to build myself a skillset that would enable me to go do what I want, where I want, then one stumble across stuff like this.

    There are pages on the Internet which put C# on a high pedestal and spit on Java. Everyone on the web is opinionated. You just need to think for yourself.

    Ruby never heard of it. Heard of Fortress though which is Sun's new language. As for the way you feel just take it as getting a push to learn another language. I primarily code in Java but learning C#.

    ...the badly lagging job market demand for C#, way behind Java and then VB, indicate to me that C# is neither hot nor cool.
    Ask a recruitment agent about this. At the moment C# (then VB.NET) is the most popular language specific requirement from the job lists I've seen.

    Programming languages are just tools, not religions. The real skill in this profession is not about knowing the "hot" language; it's about being able to learn, adapt and apply those tools, matching them to the right job at hand.

    Mike.

    The sign of a good developer is not how many languages but being able to adapt to each project and if need be learn a new language to complete the job at hand. As your experience grows so does your language base but you can not jump from langauage to language because one is hotter then another. By the time you learn the hot one its no longer hot and then you need to switch again. Pick the language you want and learn it. Logic and debugging are skills that are transferrable from language to language.
