It seems C# 4.0 may become a bit closer to dynamic languages, especially closer to the Boo language (that is mostly static): http://blogs.msdn.com/charlie/archive/2008/01/25/future-focus.aspx
As it develops, and its VM gains the method inlining capabilities of HotSpot, it will be faster. Static languages like D may have a hard time keeping up with that speed of language evolution. Bye, bearophile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
