Continuing my language quest.and their support of low level patterms...
I am reading A Comparative Overview of C# by the author of c# essentials. C# has foreach statement. To bad it falls short of the grep one.

C# is a good compromise that fits a gaps left between Java and C++. Java feels like severe bondage too me and C++ is way to complex.

Another interesting resource that compares the java and the .net frameworks and takes care of explaining all the TLAs.

An example: The Microsoft's implementation and adaptation of the above standard has resulted in difference in terminology, for example Common Intermediate Language (CIL) is called Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) and Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) is referred to as Common Language Runtime (CLR).
