New Cw (C-Omega) Compiler Released
Microsoft research has released a compiler for the Cw (C-Omega) language. The Cw language is an experimental extension of the C# language that incorporates support for concurrency and processing relational and semi-structured data. Using Cw a developer can declaratively create asynchronous methods with dependencies on the execution of other methods.
This is some really interesting stuff. If all of these features make it into C# it will be a real mess, but I'm confident Microsoft will find a way to clean the syntax up and put some of the features into C# 3.0.
Jeff Gonzalez and Shannon Davis will be doing a presentation tommorow evening, July 13th at 6pm, for the Fort Worth .NET Users Group. I will be there to help with Q&A at the end of the presentation. Also, I will be giving out a FREE CodeSmith Professional license ($79.95 value) to anyone that wants one at the end of the presentation. I hope to see you there!
