Microsoft's C# (Sharp) & .NET -- A Heads Up

[Bill Tutt]

The important concepts of .NET don't really include what or how the
VM/JITters work.  One way to view .NET in a positive light for application
developers is a platform to more easily interoperate between various
languages while at the same time providing COM and COM+ integration in a
fairly sane and consistent way across the various languages.  The other
important concepts around .NET are the services and tools that are the works
in progress.

...and is soooo innovative that it does exactly the same thing as Java
and the JVM, only five years later and at the vaporware stage. There's
only one company that can pull this off, and I sincerely hope they'll
choke in it this time.

(http://grunge.cs.tu-berlin.de/~tolk/vmlanguages.html, support /that/ many
stuff on your little VM, M$).

... happily going back to Java, Python, SmallTalk, Scheme, XML and whatnot
on top of HotSpot...,
