It is interesting that there is an explosion of languages on JVM, but Microsoft is retrenching to C#/F#/VB#/C++CLR on CLR and shedding any language it is not directly in control of.
Just as a historical anecdote: The Delphi inventor (Anders Hejlsberg) switched to Microsoft and was a co-inventor of .NET. Besides Delphi.NET there are Eiffel, Mercury, IronPython, Nemerle, Oberon ... you name it. Maybe I didn't understand what you mean by shedding, though :)
