Most people probably by now know what Generics are. And if you don't know what a Stack or Queue is, maybe you are in the wrong business :-) I would be interested in how CodeGear implemented the Dictionary Class, as there is no common base-type that has a GetHashCode. Is there some compiler magic going on? Also I didn't "wow" hearing that we can use value-types can be used as generic parameters. Come on...stuff like this has been standard in other languages for ages ;) While I really enjoyed the Barry Kelly interview I think this one was too trivial.
