What features of Java do Java programmers miss when working in C#?
Other than, of course, great portability. C# has more limited
cross-platform portability (Mono).

I get so much more done in C# it leaves me longing for that crappy
Java environment I left behind.
Ah, the fast pace of modern life :)
Likewise, a whole generation of office workers longs for the days of snail
mail instead of e-mail, so that we would actually be allowed some *time* to
do our work :)
I did a quick Google search for "java c# benchmark" (try it yourself)
and it seems that it's only that offshored code that is slow and crappy
and not Java itself, because all benchmarks I could find concludes that
Java is way faster than C#.
Well, this one: http://www.manageability.org/blog/ar...m_with_cameron
is the first one that comes up, but obviously something has gone wrong. A
factor of 7700 speed difference? They're just not measuring the same thing.
If C# were 7700 times slower than Java, it would be unusable.
I'm going to explore this and see what I can find out. A quick test shows
that his C# program is indeed woefully slow.

Quick preliminary answer: Both of the programs measure the time taken to
*compile* a regex, not the time taken to run it. The two compilers are
probably doing very different things.

It's like dude went very far out of the way to find some bizarre
benchmark to suit his goal. Who uses compiled regexs in c#
applications?

I do, in a tokenizer -- I compile a handful of them and then use each of
them thousands of times. Nobody compiles a million different regexes and
uses each of them only once.
Give me IntelliJ or Eclipse any day.

Ehm, the main thing about Java is that it tries to keep out feature
creep. So what I'm missing in C# is any constraint to keep features out.
It's starting to look as another D language, in which you can do
anything. That's fine if you are a single programmer that does not care
about reuse or refactoring, but it's madness for enterprise code.
That you still have to take care to make things "virtual" is another
thing I'm really missing.
In other words: KISS (keep it Simple, stupid) is missing.
That's not to say that C# does not have a lot of things going for it,
some features are very useful, like checked code fragments (which, of
course, should have been the default, just like the virtual keyword).

I never met a benchmark I didn't like.

What PHP Represents
There is no shortage of complaints one could make about php as a

That said, most descriptions of what is good about php, fail to do it

I am very new to Python, but have done plenty of development in C++ and

One thing I find weird about python is the idea of a module. Why is this
needed when there are already the ideas of class, file, and package?
To my mind, although one CAN put many classes in a file, it is better to
put one class per file, for readability and maintainability.
One can then create packages and libraries, using groups of files, one
