Somehow, I think the rush into C# may be something well short of a
stampede. Can you say "Visual J++" boys and girls? Too many bright
young kids developed great little applications in VJ++ and were shocked
to discover they'd have to do a port to Java if they expected their
apps to interoperate with web browsers or run on other platforms, and
that the port was far from straightforward or easy.
Still, having learned Forth and the assembly language for several
vanished machines, I don't suppose I can reasonably say that it's a bad
idea to learn any programming language.
