Anti C++ sentiment?

[Treke]

Hi folks

With OO I mean polymorphism (Wasn't ment as an allusion on morphos, Thomas ) ). That's the tool it gives to me.  
 I'm sorry to say that here, but it seems to me that C# is nicer than Java (even with these delegates, which according to James Gossling, break the OO principle).   I think C++ will slowly retire (but not entirely) when everybody becomes more negligent to the the performance aspects of SW. The process has started. Even when it is an OO  language which gives a developer the greatest freedom.

No, I think C and C++ are here to stay, Java too. C# will become a nother VB - something that there is a market for and people use but it will not be the be all and end all dominant spirit of the marketplace.

I think oposite, C# has future, because:
1. From the language point of view it is an improved Java, for M$,  years of experience with Java were enough to see, what to improve in desing of new, similar language
2. It is an inherent part of .NET, which is a big movement towards real distributed SW systems (without the COM Hell). Don't missunderstand me, as an old amigan, I do NOT like M$, but some things I have to admit . The MS's millions that went into research must yield somewhere.
3. It has one of the best IDE's
4. It has a giant with money behind

Off course Java will not die.

Perhaps I am wrong, I hope not.

I also hope, that  you are not wrong.

Hence there will always be a place for procedural C/C++.

Sure.

Shame c# is written by ms and there isn't a free compiler yet, or is there?

Maybe Project Mono is what are you looking for, because the ".NET specification" is open.
