Why was C# created?

A question I was asked recently, I was being tested on my knowledge etc.

I have my own answer. What would your answer be?

Have you been kicked out of GD or something?

it was so Microsoft had a language that compatible/comparable with Turbo Delphi (or whatever name is goes by now). Or so I have been lead to believe.

That's easy, so there was a language 1 better than C++.

C# is C++++. Only that's too long, so they put the latter two + symbols on top of the first two, to make a hash.

So MSFT can have a modern programming language, that has high level benefits e.g. no memory management, but is still close to the power you get form C++.

Still is a weird ass question to ask to test your knowledge, do you really need to know this to be good with C#, and I sort of know why even without writing a line of C# before.

Don't answer with a genuine answer ffs. It's jsmoke, he might have said he has an answer, but he hasn't got jack and is now going to take your answer and claim it as his own elsewhere.

Indeed!

I know the answer but......

Not seen this tactic employed since my brother was 10.

Welcome to a jsmoke thread.

Unfortunately they're far too common in GD.
