# is a small language. It doesn't support writing regular expressions, for example, or accessing a relational database, or even using simple data-structures like stacks, queues, and lists. Of course C# programmers use these things every day through class libraries that ship with .NET. The point is that text processing, data objects, and collections are platform features, not language features.
There's nothing too surprising about using class libraries to supplement programming language facilities. What is surprising is that the .NET framework allows you to simulate the features of a dynamically typed language using C#.
