    I just noticed that there is another language in Visual Studio 2010. It's called J, I have never noticed it before. Why exactly is it any different from C++, Vb.Net, and C#? :confused:

          J#[^] perhaps? It's pretty much "Java but .NET"

            J# was, VS2010 didn't have it installed by default IIRC. There is a J language, but it is functional and nothing to do with Java.

              Is this J#? This was MS's attempt to temp Java programmers over to the dark side, which pretty much failed. There is a language called J, but it isn't bundled with VS2010 (nor was J#) and is unrelated to J#/Java. [Edit] Can you create a project and post up some of the generated source.

                  Yeah, I tried dabbling with J[^] for a while.

                    I've tried dabbling with scheme but frankly haven't really stuck at it for long enough, I need a proper project to get going really. FP does look interesting though.

                        Yeah! But it does have some of the shortest commands I've seen.

                          It proves that terseness is not always best, which in conventional languages it almost always is. 3 !: 0? Really? You can do some really amazing clever stuff in it, though. You just have to be cleverer than me to actually be able to read J code.

                            Understanding it and using it are not quite the same. I can do the first give or take, but the latter still eludes me. I should get back on it when I have the time.
