The .NET Runtime will be a part of the next MS SQLServer engine.
It won't be long before someone writes a procedural language binding to PostgreSQL for Parrot [1]. That should offer us a handful or six more languages that can be used, including BASIC, Ruby and Scheme, Perl (5 and 6), Python and TCL for more or less free, and ... wait for it, BrainF***.
IIRC, people have talked about porting C# to Parrot, as well.
Or perhaps get the mono engine in there somewhere to pick up another dozen or so languages supported by .NET and mono......
Cheers, Gary.
