hmmm good point... i hear there's python on .net too... kaya lang, if you make a language go out of its way and bend over backwards to support distributed objects or distributed services... won't that introduce APIs alien to the language? like forcing BASIC to support object-oriented concepts and calling it VB?
now if .net will enable python or perl to construct EJB-like components, that might be interesting... (uh, correct me if i'm wrong but the zope framework isn't like j2ee at all, isn't it?) ah well, whatever works for the programmer na lang i guess... just please dont anybody develop a vbscript interpreter for mail clients on linux hehehehehe... regards, joel :) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jerome Tan > Sent: Sunday, December 23, 2001 12:29 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [plug] OT:.NET of Open Source > > > Yeah... big advantage IMHO.
