Will it be used on other OSes than Windows? I don't know the answer, but from my point of view this is an important question which needs to be answered before I can think if I like it or not, and before I can decide to be interested in it or not. Very important. On Unix most libraries are written in C, as are runtime systems for most languages. All other languages are far less popular. Will another common (= used for interoperability) language be common (= popular) after five years? There are two separate questions: can an idea similar to CLR work well at all? and is this concrete Microsoft's product good? -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk * qrczak@knm.org.pl http://qrczak.ids.net.pl/ \__/ ^^ SYGNATURA ZASTĘPCZA QRCZAK ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr.
