Get Ready For C# 4.0

http://channel9.msdn.com/pdc2008/TL16/ Although from 2008, this is still an interesting talk from Anders Hejlsberg - the lead architect of the C# programming language. He outlines the future (now mostly present) of C# and describes the many forces that influence and shape the future of programming languages and explain how they fit into C#.

In the end he talks a little bit about what is beyond 4.0 and he demonstrates the "compiler as a service", which is something I am looking forward to see :) In fact guys from Mono already moved things forward a little bit: http://www.mono-project.com/CsharpRepl

I like where this is heading.

2003, Guy Steele: "And you're right: [the designers of Java] were not out to win over the Lisp programmers; we were after the C++ programmers. We managed to drag a lot of them about halfway to Lisp. Aren't you happy?"

2008, C#: Three quarters of the way to Lisp!
