Upgrading C# and two more

[SKYDOS_sof]

(1) Can we have here an upgraded version of # , on ideone C# is 2.8 for example, but here we have 2.0.*? ... waiting

(2) after sending code by selecting source-file or pasting code into input form we are being redirected to "Status" page... its very uncomfortable...
why not to redirect to "My submissions" page of this problem?

(3) what + we have by using console input|output ? why not to use methods like TopCoder does, I mean classes? equal algos will pass... no TLE with large input data... all languages will be on the same level (maybe).
Want to here your thoughts and ideas.

Thx.

1. I'm not certain of the differences, I don't see why this is not a good idea.

2. I disagree. The status page is the best place to be as it shows me what my code is waiting for. It also shows me what problems people are working on. It introduces me to problems that I haven't tried yet.

3. This won't alleviate time limit issues. There are plenty of problems on topsider that TLE with c# that won't with c++. The simple fact is that c# is a slow language and if timelimit is opened to accept a c# solution, then an inefficient c++ solution will likely get accepted. A possible solution is to scale the timelimit based on language, but I'm not certain what that will take.

1.BigInteger... LINQ... so on...
so, can we wait or not? if not, why?

1. ok, maybe... its just an idea, for example I dont like this, but it would be nice to have such feature.

2. heh... time limits... hate them!

thx.

1. Done. C# is not 3.10.
2. Agree with leppy.
3. I think the better idea is to set different time limits for different languages or groups of languages. This will be implemented... someday.

I'm moving this topic to the archive.
