Yes, I would agree with that. I have seen justifications for using C#, or its predecessor C++ or look-a-like, for being able to get closer to machine code and such. So far, for related business uses and projects, I have been able to fullfill all the requirements as they saw fit. If you ask me to build a production mechanical system that will automate the painting on production stage #2, then, yes, I would go with C# or C++.

The baseline, for me at least, remains that I can compile this under the .NET layer, which does it very well.

Thanks
