I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this... http://www.etecnologia.net
Surely this will save Man Years of work if apps needed to be rewritten in another language. Looks like it will give the Language a long lease of life, until M$ decide to KILL .NET that is! When you look at a new application that has taken 3 years to get to a good state and more importantly it's selling, the thought of having to re-write it all is a bit of a bind and more importantly, very expensive. Surely porting would be a favourable option?

Since I am self-employed I can choose what works best for me. If I were to go looking for a job, that would be a different matter. When looking for a job - years ago, I looked at what people were using and went to school to learn it. I took COBOL and RPG classes at night. When I landed my first job it was using Basic.
