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.
