Tuples, C#, Java, language design

[bearophile]

C# will probably not follow the route of stagnation of Java for some more time, thanks to Mono too. I don't like that string interpolation syntax because it looks unsafe, and that design of tuples can be improved, but they are listening to programmes (even if they risk creating a mudball language):

More on those tuples:

Eventually it will be quite useful to have some very well designed multi-return support in D (like those tuples, but better).
