hi all , A freind of mine was advocating C++ for .NET development with the
upcoming Whideby release. He says some changes in old C++/.NET interfacing model (
__gc stuff etc ) is on the cards. ( And C++ is going to be the primary programming
language dislodging C# and others (??)) I feel ,When modern ( much more cleaner
) Object oriented languages like Java and C# are around ( more or less exclusively
made to execute on VM platforms ) , the days of C++ as an application programming
language is largely numbered. The Languages like C# are great levellers and focus is
shifting to development of feature rich applications. ( from technichalities of
development.) When 64-bit computing is around the corner , the relevance of C# and
IL is even greater than most people foresee. I hope IL and .NET assemblies will
isolate us from the intricasies of IA-64 ( Risc based architecture ) from intel and
x86-64 ( www.x86-64.org or so ) architecture from AMD (based on IA32). With out a
platform like .NET (or JVM ) life would have been worse for application developers.
Ideal scheme for microsoft would be .NET platform should virtualize the hardware
architecture. As Windows is using PE binaries for assembly and IL as the encoding
langugae , OS (bundled with IL VM ) can execute .NET applications on AMD and intel
platform. if C++ is used as primary language for application development , we will
be forced to buy (MS and others will be forced to make ) VC ++ for IA-64 and VC++ for
AMD-64. Even if they can bundle it together , one will be forced to create install
packages for both platform etc. So C# and IL is very important for us in this
emerging market scenario too.
