Use Python.
All your annoyances go away. Python code will be much smaller and easier to write than C#.
And you *can* just pick Python up in a few hours.

Valid weekend project
If I can suffer through doing this in VB and C#, I guess I can do it in Python as well.
Note: I'd say my C# version will be releasable in about an hour.
But I REALLY don't like depending on indentation level. Something tells me as far as evils go, it'll be the lesser.
Thanks.

Re: Valid weekend project
But I REALLY don't like depending on indentation level. Some people like it. Some people don't. In my experience the code is extremely readable. Problems with scoping are immediately apparent.

My unscientific impression from the newsgroup
For those who have come to Python from another language and say they "were unsure about" or outright hated the indentation issue:
Group A: those who come to love indentation, even prefer it, versus Group B: those who still hate it.
Ratio of A to B: about 50:1.

Self-selecting sample
People who hate it are less likely to stick with the language. Thus they won't be on the newsgroups.
