C Sharp

[Tyler from Alaska]

I heard there is a new language coming out in Visual Studio 7 replacing or combining ASP, Java, C++, and Visual Basic Script. Is this true?

C# is a very JAVA-like language that microsoft is putting out this fall with the realease of ASP+ (which may or may not coincide with the release of VS 7.0 -- I'm not sure)

Thanks for replying!

Do you think it will replace the ASP, Java and Visual Basic stuffs?

[dvst8]

Developers will be able to write ASP+ with basically any language they choose, but Microsoft will strongly promote C# for this purpose. I think C# will find its nich in this area (web-programming).

...or C sharp may turn out to be D flat (it's the same tone)
