#2Yeah! Finally an excuse to do something interesting at work instead of at home.

#3Cool.
Now, if only ASP.NET was "cleaner" and didn't have all that "event-driven" ugliness.
More widespread usage on Linux would help too. Mono just hasn't taken off in terms of mainstream production use.

+1. I quite like C#, but it's not enough incentive for me to switch to Windows.

Give ASP.NET MVC a try: http://www.asp.net/mvc/

#6Congratulations to the .Net team. C# - which started as a Java look-alike - has come a long way.

#7Why can't Java people do something like this?
I really like what C# people are doing and the language starts to sound really good but unfortunately my work is done with java and *nix so C# is not an option.

#8As far as I can tell, the majority of C# programmers are either not aware of these features or don't know how to use it.
What stops me from praising C# is its ridiculous verbosity. A language in which the shortest possible form of a character array literal is
new char[] {'a', 'b'}

A language in which the shortest possible form of a character array literal is new char[] {'a', 'b'} is doomed to be low-end, low entry-level, low-respect language, despite all efforts to bring some high-end features into it.
It's actually possible to write slightly less verbose code with C# 3.0. For example:
//...
char[] someChars = {'A', 'B', 'C'};
var moreChars = new [] {'D', 'E', 'F'};
SomeMethod(new[] { 'G', 'H', 'I' });
//...

The language still has some aspects that are quite verbose when compared with dynamically typed languages. You are also right in pointing out that these new features ar…
