First there was "Dot Net", with the promise of "write once, run anywhere". The cornerstone of .Net was to have been something somewhat like Java, called C# (C-Sharp). Well, it turns out that it wasn't that simple. They need yet
another language to act as "glue code". They're calling it F# (F-Sharp). (Or as I like to call it: "Microsoft's new F#ing language"
)
quote:
"Neonerds.net has learned of an implementation of the ML programming language for the .NET Framework. F# is essentially an implementation of the core of the OCaml programming language . F#/OCaml/ML is a mixed functional-imperative programming language which is excellent for medium-advanced programmers and for teaching. In addition, you can access hundreds of .NET libraries using F#, and the F# code you write can be accessed from C# and other .NET languages. (See: Slash Dot)
That thing just keeps getting kludgier and kludgier, don't it?
