Terrific post, but he's overlooking the .NET framework. It has successfully made "cross-language interoperability work well." Granted, you're limited to windows programming, but that's not his point.
Moreover, you could even argue that C# has overtaken VB as the dominant language for programming on the .NET platform.
- lallysingh 16y ago.. if you're willing to live in the set of languages coerced to fit in the .Net object model.
- fr0man 16y agoI'm not saying I don't like to get out of the .NET box; I do. But the point was within a single framework you have multiple languages that work well together. I'm fairly language agnostic, but out of curiousity, what language doesn't .NET have that you want to work with? All my (language-y/syntaxy) needs are pretty much filled between IronRuby, IronPython, C#, and now F#.
- lallysingh 16y agoHaskell and Erlang.
- fr0man 16y agoFair enough. I do nearly 100% web development, so I haven't messed with those yet. They still don't give you anymore language interoperability than anything else, though.
- lallysingh 16y agoErlang does, sure. You can find libraries to make erlang nodes in most languages.
