That makes me so jealous, when I am looking at my current company :cry: ! That looks like a really great enviroment for developer. Almost to good to be true 8O

Hopefully you still hire when I am done with my apprenticeship :)

If I was not gainfully employed and happily married -- no brainer.

Can you folks move onto C# at somepoint, for some application or other, so I have some cause to send in my CV? :D
Some stuff, and some other stuff. Honest.

In C#, you'd need like 8 cores to run a 8 tracks set wouldn't you ? :twisted:

Nah, it's pretty fast these days, although it'd suck for interfacing with audio equipment, not close enough to the machine!

I think it can't compare with C++ in terms of speed. Didn't it was bad though, but for processor intensive applications like live, I don't think it's a good idea ....

I think you'd be surprised, I always assumed it was slower but the optimisations the compiler puts into the code somehow compensate for the whole virtual runtime thingy.

Check out http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000838.html theres a comparison chart about halfway down the article.

OK, no worries I'm open minded. At least, C# seems to be way faster than Java :-)
