You know, if it wasn't for having to read things like ToLongADamnTypeName toLongAVarName = new ToLongADamnTypeName() like constructs in all three languages, I could really get to like C# for cross platform work.

^_^ If only because Novel(mono) and Microsoft have each produced C# compilers that are 100 times faster than Suns javac, while still compiling faster than many C++ compilers. ^_^
