Some important questions/issues regarding this stub
The article stub is currently written about the 'C#' programming language, but the article title is 'C' (perhaps because the # does not work in the article title and got stripped?); C# is actually a completely different (but derivative) programming language to C.
This leads on to a few important questions:
- This article entry should probably actually relate to the letter 'C' as most ordinary readers would relate it to the letter rather than the programming language. (See [1] for example.)
- Should this article be about C only, or C and all its derivative languages (i.e. C++, C#)? Wikipedia handles each within its own article (see [2], [3] and [4]). I proffer the current Wikipedia approach is the best approach.
- I also suggest the 'C' programming language article needs a disambiguation (like the Wikipedia page referenced above) to distinguish it from the letter C.
Please offer your opinions. If I hear nothing within a few days I will start making the changes I outlined above (including making this article a stub about the alphabetical letter 'C' and starting a new C Sharp stub). Thanks.

- I have moved it to C Sharp from C. I can't see any other way of doing this at the moment. John Stephenson 23:00, 6 August 2007 (CDT)

- Heh, I never saw that one coming. I think it would be okay, though, to let the musical note C be covered in a general article—maybe musical notation or musical scale. I am not sure there is really much to write about one note :-). Ah, I just checked and Wikipedia has articles for both of those also; I think it would work well to follow that approach for the musical notes 'C' and 'C#'. Mark Jones 08:43, 7 August 2007 (CDT)

Similar in syntactical style to both java and C, it is easy to learn whilst offering much of the power of c++.
- C# is much more like Java that it is like C++. I intend to add some info in the near future about C#, including that it uses the familiar syntax of the C family of languages.Pat Palmer 00:53, 24 August 2007 (CDT)
