I wonder what you mean by C# here; you of course need to refer to the underlying implementation (Mono, using the Boehm GC we love to hate, is a very different beast from the MS implementation). But lets not get bogged down in specifics eh? > And the functional languages aren't comparable because they are > functional languages. Why? OCaml isnt a functional language, its a language which supports higher-order functions. And its native-code performance beats the living daylights out of any C# implementation I've seen. But really, who cares? They both work on OpenBSD, pick one :) -- Anil Madhavapeddy http://anil.recoil.org University of Cambridge http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk
