Watch the FUD there. First of all, even if it has been a while since I've used VS, I know they support at least C++, C#, VB and F#... and even accounting for off-by-one errors, that's more than 2. Secondly, I need only one finger to count the number of languages Sun/Oracle supports (and you can argue how well the one is being kept alive)!
After 6 years, Microsoft likely did not see a business perspective in pumping more $ into the languages, but they did develop a DLR to sit on top of the CLR for dynamic languages (something sorely lacking for the JVM). JB Evain, Michael Foord, Jeff Hardy, Jimmy Schementi and Miguel de Icaza is taking over the coordination of the Iron* languages, much like EngineYard is driving JRuby on the JVM, Odersky is driving Scala, the Frank brothers Fantom etc. On Oct 23, 4:56 am, Miroslav Pokorny <miroslav.poko...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yeh those efforts will eventually grow thin and die, so much for common > language runtime, when microsoft themselves only support 2 languages, how is > that "common" as in many ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
