The main reason why C# is better than Java

Advertisemen

C# has lambdas, and Java isn't releasing it's 8th version until Summer 2013

Compare the below (untested but you get the point - the Java doesn't even do what I want, but I'm not delving into it):

Java:

public class Data {
    String val;
}




List dataList = new ArrayList();
...

Collections.sort(homeworkList, new Comparator() {
                                  public int compare(Homework h1, Homework h2) {
                                        return d1.val.length() - d2.val.length();
                                  }
});

(Glorious) C#:

public class Data
{
    String Val;
}

List dataList = new List();
dataList.OrderBy(d => d.Val).ToList();
