Re^3: Comparing Perl with C#, a simple templating example

[simon.proctor]

C# even tries to beat Java with small things like how to define getter
+s and setters.

Thats just syntactic sugar. You may be able to use "properties" but in essence they just get re-written to the underlying subroutines anyway. Of course if you use code completion incorrectly you can get bitten :). Here's some recursive property code just for fun.

using System;

public class MyClass
{
    private string person = "";

    public string Person
    {
        set
        {
            this.Person = value;
        }
        
        get
        {
            return this.person;
        }
    }

    public static void Main()
    {
        MyClass app = new MyClass();
        app.run();
    }

    public void run()
    {
        string temp = "temp";

        // Crash me
        this.Person = temp;
    }
}

Though I confess writing your own array accessor for an object is nice.
