[thelist] Java.NET - good thing? bad thing?

[DomitianX]

I think we will see more of these. MS is trying to push it as much as
possible and they want to make is as easy as possible for people to
start moving to .Net.

They are just making it as easy as possible for people to develop for
.Net.

They was a lot of negative feedback from developers about having to
learn a new language, this way they don't have to learn a new language,
they can just use Java like syntax to develop for .Net. 

It seems to a "plugin" for the VS.Net shell so people can code in Java
but compile to .Net. Maybe we will see PHP.Net or Python.Net or PERL.Net
in the near future? Different plugins for different languages to all
compile to the .Net Framework. I myself would like this. This would be a
very cool "write once, deploy everywhere" scenario.

It is java.net in the same way tcl.net is not tcl.

My point is, will this not just confuse the market?

MS have been pushing c# as a java-killer and the .net platform as a j2ee
killer. Having java as an optional language kind of dilutes the message
about c# doesnt it?
