Ironically, he dislikes C the exact same reason he like C++, it is very open, allowing a lot of power and a lot of errors.

@GreySage That caught my eye too... C is too error prone but C# doesn't give you enough power? C is that far removed from C++? C# doesn't have "unsafe" corners that give you more control? Interesting mix of opinions thats for sure...

@WernerCD can't really tell about unsafe C#, but C and C++ have pretty much nothing in common, except that you can beat a basic C90 snippet into a valid C++-ish snippet on which the compiler won't choke.
