Open-source Castle Project founder joins Microsoft

I've always been curious about the uptake of Iron*: Its a strategy that seems to follow the same mistake MS is making on the web...."If we offer OUR version they will come". It seems to me that ASP.Net attracts a certain type of person just like all the other languages and they would probably prefer C#. I'm just not sure I see "P" language folk running to the .Net framework vs rails, Django or the host of PHP frameworks. Its almost as if MS has this idea that everyone secretly wishes they could use MS technology and would if they had a way in.

Also do the "P" languages maintain their dynamic or weak typing capabilities when they are brought into the .Net framework? Without that I wouldn't see a point in using any of them.; Posted by: storm14k Posted on: 07/18/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
