Microsoft pledges support in .NET language updates
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft’s latest strategy for its .NET languages—C#, F#, and Visual Basic—emphasizes attributes including performance and interoperability, with the company remaining in charge of governance. The company posted the latest overviews of plans for the three languages on February 6.
Big changes will not be found in the updated strategy, but Microsoft said it was committed to full support for all three languages and to open source, backward compatibility, and aggressive language evolution for C# and F#. For C#, Microsoft’s object-oriented language with capabilities such as type safety and generics, the strategy calls for continuing to evolve the language while remaining “state of the art.”
