Clarence Westberg finds C# to be a drag compared to Smalltalk:

C# and Smalltalk

Back in C# development again, what a drag compared to smalltalk. Productivity dropping at an astounding rate.

Have been using C# Reafactory a lot. I would recommend it to any C# developer.

Have been declaring a lot of things as type object to get around the typing BS of C. In the end you always end up having to cast everything anyway!

more anecdotal evidence that C# is Java in Microsoft clothing...
