When you said at the start of this thread:

> I'm language shopping and I want people's answers.

You didn't say you were language window shopping.

> I want to know what people's *perceptions* are.

Nothing said in the last few days from either your C# thread or
your Ruby thread has raised anything new, and a trivial Google
groups search would have given you not only information about
perception but the ability to gauge trends in that perception.

If you were serious about this, you would *start* by giving
the results of your analysis, along with points which you think
need further clarification and point out weak points in your
thinking.  You should not make the assumption that people
will do this for you, and given your poor reasoning skills, it's
unlikely that even if people did that you would miss the answer.

Instead, you make people like me just more and more annoyed
about your posts.

Or not.  Word on the net is that you've raised a whole bunch of
bluster there.
