That's a shame for the IronPython/Ruby folks. - Hans On 2013-01-12, at 1:29 AM, Salakhetdinov Shamil <mcp2004 at mail.ru> wrote: > Hans -- > > May I suppose it does? C# 5.0 + T4 Templates ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb126445.aspx ) + other .NET/C# dev. tools and libs seems to be a superset of Python features, dev. tools and libs (even django features/APIs are covered by that C# superset?). Microsoft used IronPython R&D project (as they state in quote I have provided in my prev. posting) to get C# 4 (C# 5) at that "superset" level and so they do not see now any business reasons to continue directly financing IronPython further development. > > -- Shamil > > > Пятница, 11 января 2013, 17:14 -08:00 от Hans-Christian Andersen <hans.andersen at phulse.com>: >> That still doesn't really answer the question as to why Microsoft pulled their support, but I can only imagine it's because some person up the ranks decided to axe the project, because he/she didn't understand the point of it. >> >> - Hans >> >> >> On 2013-01-11, at 4:40 PM, Salakhetdinov Shamil < mcp2004 at mail.ru > wrote: >> >>> They used IronPython and IronRuby just as R&D tools while implementing .NET DLR and new dynamic features of C# and VB.NET? >>> >>> http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jasonz/archive/2010/10/21/new-components-and-contributors-for-ironpython-and-ironruby.aspx >>> >>> <<< >>> The IronPython and IronRuby projects began as an effort to improve support for dynamic languages in the .NET Framework and to diversify our portfolio of programming languages. These language projects have helped thousands of people since they began, and they have added value to the .NET Framework. They helped create the Dynamic Language Runtime in the .NET Framework 4, on which we have also built C#'s new 'dynamic' keyword and improved Visual Basic's late-binding support. We’ll continue to invest in making the .NET Framework a great runtime environment for dynamic languages going forward. >>>>>> >>> >>> -- Shamil >>> >>> Пятница, 11 января 2013, 16:21 -08:00 от Hans-Christian Andersen < hans.andersen at phulse.com >: >>>> Why did Microsoft pull their support, I wonder? >>>> >>>> Best regards, >>>> Hans-Christian Andersen >>>> >>>> <<< skipped >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> dba-Tech mailing list >>> dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com >>> http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech >>> Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> dba-Tech mailing list >> dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com >> http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech >> Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com > > _______________________________________________ > dba-Tech mailing list > dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com > http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech > Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
