A sad day for the three people still using J#... :-O

That is amazing to me. I would not think MS would "drop" any language for .NET as it tries to be everything to everyone. Does not seem like it would take that many resources to keep the language where it is for years to come. Guess Java people are more comfortable just moving to C# :)

I expected it not to last long. I couldn't see it as being any more than a transitional migration tool for the few J++ apps that were around.

Since customers have told us that the existing J# feature set largely meets their needs and usage of J# is declining Doesn't that seem, um, contradictory? If something meets your needs, wouldn't you expect to see usage increasing? :rolleyes: Marc

People who say that they will refactor their code later to make it "good" don't understand refactoring, nor the art and craft of programming. -- Josh SmithI think that it's something like 5 developers are using it and are content with what the language has to offer. 5 developers is too few justify development costs, so they stop producing it. (Ok, 5 developers is indeed a bit on the extreme side, but you get my point)

Some of the features like java.util.zip etc are really very useful and excellent.
