I have an argument with my boss about what programming language to use.
What is your opinion?
Things to consider (Some are related i know):
* Rapid development, productivity
* Ease of use
* Learning curve
* Salary for expert developers in the language
* Future of the language (where is it heading, what features it will have)
* Development/Build/QA/Deployment tools
* Amount of code needed to achieve the same task (effects maintenance)
* The usual: Performance, Stability, Portability
Please share your reasons
Thanks

I can imagine coming to office and saying "hey boss i read a note from a musician today saying we should work our C#".
He would kick my ass all the way to java

Having only used java, and never C#, I would support C#. From what I've read, it's better.

Java IMO, is clunky. I haven't programmed in any C language but from what I've seen and read it's very versatile.
If C# maintains that versatility and manages to also incorporate the ease of use associated with Visual Basic, I'd have to go with C#.
I'll take it point by point.
- Rapid development, productivity - I think that this is mostly equal.
- Ease of use - I assume you mean for the programmer. C# should be easier.
- Learning curve - VB's compiling error instructions are HIGHLY useful. If C# is anything like it, that alone will smooth the curve immensely.
- Salary for expert developers in the language - if anything you'd probably be able to pay C# experts less since it's newer.
- Future of the language (where is it heading, what features it will have) - ~shrug~
- Development/Build/QA/Deployment tools - Not sure
- Amount of code needed to achieve the same task (effects maintenance) - Not sure.
- The usual: Performance, Stability, Portability - From what I've read, java is very portable because of the virtual machine. How true that is, I don't know. But for the other two, I've found java lacking in both respects.

| I like how the .NET Framework actually acts as the standard library for C# - it's nice for writing ASP and Windows apps, once you figure out how all the .NET stuff works (I'm still a little confused about the Brush and Pen objects, and all that other drawing-related stuff). |

C-Octothorpe simply doesn't have the same ring to it as Java.
(If they want me to call it C-Sharp then they should use the "♯" character instead of the "#" symbol.

| The spoken name of the language is "C sharp" in reference to the musical "sharp" sign, which increases a tone denoted by a letter (between A and G) by half a tone. However, for ease of typing it was decided to represent the sharp sign by a pound symbol [3] (which is on any keyboard) rather than the "musically correct" Unicode sharp sign. The Microsoft and ECMA 334 representation symbols thus agree: the # in C# is the pound sign, but it represents a sharp sign. Think of it in the same way as the <= glyph in C languages which is a less than sign and an equals sign, but represents a less-than-or-equals sign. |

I agree. After having programmed in Java for years, I think ANY language would be better than it. The problem I see with C# and .NET is that I think is more of the same, as Microsoft was forbidden to use the name Java on their "Java" implementation.
