C# (new language from Microsoft)
I'm sure many of you will have seen this announcement already, but for those who haven't, Microsoft is launching a new language to compete with C, C++, and Java: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/nextgen/technology/csharpintro.asp Greg
I cant say much, as I am still under NDA. However, I probably can say: * C Sharp is really not the interesting part of this technology. MS are controlling the way (the order, really) the information is coming out; as more info comes out, C Sharp should move back into perspective for what is really is. Suffice it to say, hardly anyone on slashdot is even in the ball-park! * The MS PDC in a couple of weeks will be the official announcement of the more interesting things. After this, everyone involved in the project will be completely free to discuss all they know, including me (and a few other Pythoneers) * Python has a very good and interesting story in all this - there is no need to be alarmed. If anything, be excited :-) Mark.

I was never worried about Python, but I lay awake at night worrying about MS -- I'm still an MS shareholder, so don't screw this up <wink>. every-new-c#-programmer-is-a-potential-python-convert-ly y'rs - tim

I'm an MS shareholder, too. Oh. Wait. Did I say I was involved? Don't think so... ahem. -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
