Why Use .Net Framework?

I hate M$.

[#2]

@eradic80r - Fair point!

w00t up and running.

I support this suggestion.

My favorite programming language is object-free, exceptions-free, plain C.

I answer this question very well here.

Well main resaon why both XDA and PS Suite work only on C# is to diffier offer with standard platfrom licencing, if everybody would be able to code in C++ for vita then real deal game devs would just code for PS Suite not buying expensive Vita licence and 99$/year is nothing compire to it. Android and iOS is more Open in fundaments of platfrom, thats why they let you code in C++ for free or cheap, where Vita was made for licencing

[#7]

That's not the only reason, C++ is a native language, not running in any virtual machine, so letting the possibility for the public to use it means opening the doors to kernel syscalls. Which is, for hackers, the eldo rado of doing anything on the vita, including creating an iso loader.

[#8]

Another reason why they make us use C# is because Managed Code is considered type safe. They are concerned that if a bunch of people will start creating applications in native code, then there is the possibility that all of our applications could theoretically contain exploitable holes that will allow a hacker to execute code with root permission on the native kernel. This is how the PSP and Wii were hacked all the time.

i understood why C# and not C/C++.

But why not JAVA?

1) it still run on a virtual Machine

2) it's better than C *****

3) it's more popular (i know that C# is very similar, but damn, i created lot of small games at school with java and i can't even paint a word with C#! -_-"

That's clearly just your preferred language. Everyone has one. C# is very popular amongst game developers these days with engines like Unity using it. It's also very C-like with some C++ concepts but overall the managed nature simplifies a lot of tasks. I too wrote a whole load of MIDP Java games years and years ago but I wouldn't touch Java these days if I had a choice (use the NDK for Android dev).

First thing people need to understand is that saying "Why C#?" means you dont understand the full scope of the CLR technology and why it pretty much trumps all other forms of coding in terms of programmer convience.

Second thing, the language is called CIL. We can program with Python, C#, Boo, Visual C++, Java, Visual Basic, the list goes on. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CLI_languages).

Third thing, Microsoft does not OWN CLR technology anymore. They submited it to EMCA standardization years ago. Anybody can go and create their own CLR runtime related technology.

For instance, Mono decided to do that. And Im currently in a project right now thats building our own EMCA compliant CLR operating system kernal. 

After Playstation Suite is FINAL then they can take considerations on porting the library to other languages by popular demand.
