Michael is a software developer who still remembers punch cards, computers with 4 Kbytes RAM, and 3270s. His personal computers were Apple IIe, Commodore, and PC XT (with the whole 640 Kbytes RAM and 2 floppy drives!!!). Wow, that was a powerhouse.
Fast forward 32 years through FORTRAN, PL-I, Algol, Pascal, Prolog, LISP, C, Basic, Clipper, Assembly, FoxPro, DHTML, JavaScript, C++, you name it, to C# 4.0.
Of course, real men use machine code to write software, but what a difference a few years make! No more mallocs and callocs, GC magically collects unused objects, dynamic objects magically call IUnknown::QueryInterface, Reflection magically gives you metadata and even generates help files, WPF magically binds stuff together...
