I have been a Java and C++ developer for more years than I would like to admit. A rencet career move has led me into a .Net- only world. Your statement about Java as a language being crusty, C# is better, but Java has the best libraries, resonated with me. When you work exclusively in the .Net realm, the sense of open source community is essentially non-existent when compared with the Java community. Sure, you have codeplex and a few other MS sponsored efforts...but it's simply not the same.However, in this situation you can have your cake and eat it too. Your statement "If you could write C# code with Java libraries, you'd really have something". Well, you can to a large degree with IKVM. It really does work, it's technically sound, and since Sun opened the Java runtime, it's even more practical. The efforts of the folks behind GNU Classpath made IKVM viable many years ago. Try IKVM out on your favorite Java library and I think you will be impressed.

come on man, what's the point of having 7 links to the same one page in rss item for this page

I sort of hoped that it increases the likehood people see the page at least once. I do it for all my rss posts, enough to click on the first one.
