Well, it's about learning C and C++, though I maintain that these are
now quite different languages. However, some commonality remains, which
I am inclined to fight for. I find that the intellectual level here is
generally higher than in many similar newsgroups.

As far as I'm concerned, Objective-C is also on-topic here, as it is
standard C with a minimalist, orthogonal object-oriented extension.
(This would be a far better forum for it than the current
<news:comp.lang.objective-c>, which has a resident troll who is also
the FAQ maintainter.) However, I have yet to encounter a question here
about this language.

In my opinion, though, C# would take us too far afield. Both C# and
Java have plenty of newsgroups to serve them. What more could you want?
