Re: ILE vs CLI. was V5R3

C# was invented by Microsoft to make interoperability more
difficult and to try to keep control of the game. I am *not
not* interested in C# if I can avoid it, and resent the fact
that to earn a living I may even have to learn it <gag>.

 The gist of all this is strange. Maybe somebody should lean
on the Microsoft man to belly up to the plate and help this
interoperability situation by doing its part, and stop
trying to get everybody to play its game.

If Microsoft is putting out something that requires things
to be done the way they feel like it, then it seems to me it
should be Microsoft that should be whacked!
