My closest neighbors speak Dutch and I do understand it, but wouldn't try to speak or even write in dutch. This is certainly not due to our school system, I simply watched Dutch television a lot in the 70s and 80s. And then there are those ritual shopping trips to Venlo or Roermond, you know. > Still, I guess English does make more sense as a second language > than, say, Russian, to name one of the languages I was nominally > taught. Depending on which part of Germany you've been born in, you would have been taught either English or Russian as your second language. By now English is the default, but there are schools that will let you chose a different language. Florian (our son who's just started school) will be taught English starting with his third year in school - we didn't get our second language before the fifth year when I was in school. Oh, Latin is my third language (and I never had the opportunity to tell girls I was interested in what they had to say in Latin 8-). > I think that is why they arent going to do C++ support; if you have > to list dependencies by hand, stick to automake. listing dependencies by hand is the biggest shortcomming of file based dependencies IMHO.

I should use the time in which my blog is ranked first by Google when searching for Ant and MSBuild, I guess. I'm even on the first page for MSBuild as the only query parameter 8-) > now, they dont have to care what I say, but we do have the option of > pulling all .NET support from ant1.6... I don't think there is such a significant user base for them, is there? You and me, but most .NET developers who are not doing heterogeneous builds will pick NAnt today (or VS.NET).
