I just found a new
.NET language List
at Brian Ritchie's
Dotnetpowered.com
site and discovered a couple of .NET languages that are news
to me. In particular, it looks like the ADA community is now
on the boat with
A#, a port of ADA to .NET, and Microsoft Research is at it
again with
Comega, an
extension of C# that provides "A control flow extension for asynchronous wide-area
concurrency (formerly known as Polyphonic C#)" and "A data type extension for XML and table manipulation
(formerly known as Xen and as X#)." I have been wondering whether Xen/X# would eventually
develop some traction.
A#
has been developed by the
Department of Computer Science
at the
United States Air Force Academy
and is "freely distributed" under the
GPL.
Thanks to Brian for mentioning this Weblog as one of his
"Other Sources!" I'm only too happy to have contributed
something useful.
