Managed C++

I don't understand why to use this. First bad: arcane new syntax for managed work (okay, not new, but I've been out of the .NET world for quite a while). But secondly, you don't get the kind of performance profile you'd expect for C/C++.

At our company we recently did a test and discovered that native C++ is 20 times faster than managed C++. This led me to coin a phrase of which I remain inordinately proud:


Managed C++ has all the simplicity and clarity of the C++ language and the stunning performance profile of C#.


Needless to say, we are converting those managed C++ libraries to native C++...

Hehe, great phrase!
Reminds me of this: "Objective-C [...] has all the memory safety of C combined with all the blazing speed of Smalltalk"
