Yeah, C# is really nice. And .Net is great. Language and library-wise, it's like all the benefits of python, without some of the dumb things about python. My only reason for not using it is the lack of Linux/Mono support from XSI. If that happens, I'd seriously consider doing a lot more work in C#. But if you don't need Linux support and are at peace with Microsoft, C# and .Net are among the better things they've ever done. For platform-specific work, it's probably a pretty good first choice.

Hi - I spent a couple months with C# and xsi recently and really liked it. One advantages to c# are a great deal of documentation, the entire .Net API, the CLR, and a ton of third party libraries. Language wise it's REALLY close to Java. ATR

Hello,



I've been granted a temporary window out of the production pipeline and
am being sent to learn a new programming language.



Ideally, I'd like to use this new tool to expand my use of XSI and
eventually use it with Behaviour.



I have a background in programming (cobol, fortran, pascal, basic) which
means getting into structure and logic of this new language should not
be a problem.



I've heard a few opinions about Python over VBscript.

Is there something better out there compatible with XSI and Behaviour?

What holds the best results with the most potential (if possible)?



If anyone has some real world experiences and their opinion on this that
they'd like to share, that will be greatly appreciated.



Thanks and have a goodday.
