"I probably won't live long enough to ever have to program in C#"

Try it at least once, at least I will ;-)

As a matter of fact, one of our GUI user interface needs to be totally rewritten becaue of the user requirement changed. I am looking at C#, it was in Open Road (an engres thingy).

BTW, for most of the application areas, C# is not targetting any thing else, but Java. GUI application is a good candidator to try C# with, because of the IDE. I took a look at the way C# defines event, handles event are quite interesting. C# even tries to beat Java with small things like how to define getters and setters.

Perl should not be the one feels the most pressure from C#. For example, in this case, as a GUI interface thing, at least from my point of view, Perl is not a candidator any way.
