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:

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.

You had to mention that... my milk language. Egads, it's a wonder it got past punched cards. X|

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.

All your elite skills are outdated, and without IronRuby under your belt you are the old fart of the week.

Remember that Microsoft needs to cover all bases. It's part of their paranoia. They always act as though they're about to go out of business.

Saw a job requirement just the other day. Wanted Ada and C#.

What about that other thing called IronRuby? http://www.wilcob.com/Wilco/IronRuby.aspx[^] Or has he agreed to call it something else now? Or has he given up?

Did you forget that Microsoft assimilates all that touches, like Brainiac[^]?
