No, I don't want. Did you even read my post? I said that I did not recommend
using C# for a chess program, and that in the long run it is better to use
something else (like C or C++) because the rapid development advantage of a
language like C# fades when the project is drawn out over years or decades.

Maybe it's slower now. Maybe it won't be in the future.

I don't know if "owned" is the right word. It certainly hasn't stopped people
from developing C# compilers for other platforms.

Guess you never heard of Mono or DotGNU huh?

>for your entire life?

None of the things you mentioned (even the one fact you got right) are
"forever".


>"early stages" or through the engine's entire life?!

I really don't know what you're talking about. I have a feeling you really
missed my point, or misread something.
