F#
-
Combining the safety and productivity of ML with the libraries, tools and cross-language working of .NET http://research.microsoft.com/projects/ilx/fsharp.aspx[^] A friend just sent me the link, and although I only just skimmed over it, I'm really looking forward to using F# when it's ready – in our previous semester at university, we were forced to program in SML, and though many of my fellow students (especially those who were used to Pascal...) developed a kind of hatred against it, I have to admit I really liked it, especially its efficiency when writing code. I tried SML.NET[^], but found it way too complicated (in the same sense that Managed C++ isn't fun to read). So maybe F# will finally make functional programming usable with .NET :cool: Please do NOT post programming questions or ads to this forum. OMG - this could even be considered a "programming ad"...

Thanks for the link – Nemerle looks interesting too, though the syntax seems way too "C#ish" to me: it looks as if a semicolon is required after every "line", and I, personally, can also live without curly braces. Btw - F# also has IDE integration: F# comes with a 'F# for Visual Studio', an extension to Visual Studio 2003 and Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 that supports features such as an integrated build/debug environmemt, graphical debugging, interactive syntax highlighting, parsing and typechecking, Intellisense, CodeSense, MethodTips and a simple project system.

While on the subject of lesser-known .NET languages, I've been following a pretty cool language called Boo. Syntax is somewhat like Python, some really cool features. I have yet to use F#, I'll have to give it a try when I get some free time.
