Each Friday for the past three weeks I've asked about the pain points of a particular programming language. So far I've asked about Java, Ruby, and Python. Today, I'd like to ask about C#. C# is in many ways similar to Java in design, but by no means the same language or environment. Since C# came after Java, its designer had the opportunity to learn from Java's problem areas. If you've been programming in C#, what would you say are your most significant pain points with the C# language and .NET environment?
