Ted explains C# 3.0 in depth

Ted has a nice post going into detail explaining all the new featuers coming for C# 3.0. Lots of very cool things including lamba expressions, extension methods, and implicity typed local variables. The big takeaway point is that all the stuff could be done in Java on the JVM, but Sun just isn’t pushing things in that direction. Its really quite a shame, and does not bode well for Java’s future.

IMHO C# is nice, but I am getting rather tired of hearing how C# will knock out Java. C# has been out how many years now and it still is not the #1 choice for .NET programming. VB or Visual C++ is. I would have expected C# development to overtake Java a couple years ago listening to the hype through the years but it is not even close.
