Hey, Your assumptions about the CLR not being ported to other OSes are incorrect. Check out http://www.go-mono.com, developed by Ximian. I am quite sure we can expect FreeBSD variants etc, etc.
As for J#, well, it shouldn't be any suprise to anyone following the development of .NET up till now. I am sure that if their strategy continues as it is now, you see Cobol#, Perl#, or any other combination of XXX# that you can think of, Glenn. -----Original Message----- From: Oscar Azanon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 12 October 2001 13:42 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Boom Baby! Microsoft reveals the (secret) bomb - J# .Net! I agree with that - by using J# you are using a language that will look very similar (if not completely equal) to the Java Langauge. But the runtime environment of your applications is not the good old Java VM (god bless it) and associated APIs - you will be running on the CLR, Microsoft's VM - and by now, that is WINDOWS! So, if you use J#, say bye-bye to portability. It'll only run on M$ and CLR ports to other operating systems (none so far). I doubt there will be ports of CLR to other OS, given the success (or better, lack of) that COM ports had in the past. my two cents. what do you guys think? -----Original Message----- From: Bas Eefting [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 12, 2001 2:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Boom Baby! Microsoft reveals the (secret) bomb - J# .Net! I think it is smart, Microsoft makes Java sort of a sub-product of .NET Of course you can write Java, but everything that comes out of this box will be subject to Microsoft rulez, which in the long run means that they make money with it, and probably add some stuff that won't work on something else then the dreaded Windows-platform. But, that's my opinion, hope to hear yours.......
