Notes
  1. Match held over and played in Beijing.
gollark: > 8. C# for large scale projectsThey are saying C++ would be *easier* to scale. This does not seem to match with reality, where you'll probably debug some weird memory corruption issue in some random code somewhere in a big C++ app.
gollark: Oh, it's just a bit slow.
gollark: > 7. C# as a script... this doesn't actually seem to contain any criticism of it?
gollark: > 6. .net does not allows simple development of plugin loading / unloadingDon't know about this either, honestly, although I expect DLLs would lead to even more hassle.
gollark: You should, if you care, probably at least run it through an obufscator for .NET.
