    @tjheuvel @DGoodayle Also worth noting that C# now has a real dynamic type ("dynamic") where errors are caught at run time, not compile time
  37. …in reply to @DGoodayle
    @DGoodayle @tjheuvel It's really useful when interfacing with objects created by a dynamic programming language. Saves a lot of ballache.
  38. …in reply to @DGoodayle
    @DGoodayle @tjheuvel Like: deserializing a fairly complex bit of JSON with LitJSON: you don't have to recreate the entire structure C#-side.

    @DGoodayle @tjheuvel Yeah! I wrote Hell Is Other People in it. Nice language (& I loved "duck" as I said), but you suffer for it's rarity.

    @john_brindle @pippinbarr So how large does the system have to be to count as ludic? Is a side-quest incidental?
