Another langauge that won't ever get mainstream recognition in development, I'll stick my money on the favourite (c#).

Just like most other Microsoft announcements, this wouldn't mean much :)

it means your WPFCOMDDE++ modules will now be able to talk natively to your ActiveTSQLX# assemblies, allowing for greater enterprisation and solutionivity in customer-facing IMAPIBob2K applications.

Why does it have to mean something to, er, you?

Ahh I see, so the value added WPFCOMDDE++ modules will allow for synergetic coupling of enterprise CLR core competencies with emerging DLR technologies making diagnostic application development even more efficient!

So that I can figure out whether it means something to my clients or my own work. Marc

C# is the most used language for Windows web applications, I guess. ABAP: :wtf: T-SQL: :wtf::wtf: Ruby: :| (I personally don't like it) D: :| (Never seen it) Ada: :wtf::wtf::wtf: Python: :mad: (I personally dislike it. WTF - indents for defining the program's flow??? One unwanted hit on the TAB key and you might waste hours of work!) FORTRAN: Still used in tons and tons of legacy applications, like COBOL - see banks and the like. Anyway. C#: :cool::cool::cool:

Ah Dario, you seem to know where the money is, no good learning a language that don't pay eh?

I thought you liked dynamic languages. Ruby is a ruby (yeah, I see the pun) among dynamic languages.

Exactly my thoughts. Was taught Ada in college like 15 years ago and it did little :->

plus... you get to be "on rails". Trust me, you want to be "on rails". And to get the better of everyone else out there, your rails will be iron.

I do. I'm just leary when Microsoft takes over something, whether it's sanctioned or not. Marc

How could our very own avatar of Ruby fail to notice this announcement? Perhaps he's been kidnapped by aliens. Or beaten senseless by angry mobs of php coders. Or simply passed out in front of the pub again.
