Here's what I know:
1. I've heard that Don Syme has been thinking about DLR integration for
F#, but nothing has been announced.
2. According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vjsharp/default.aspx, J#
is "retired" so I don't think you can expect any further versions.
3. There aren't any firm plans yet for the future of Javascript on the DLR.
4. In Visual Studio 2010, VB.NET <http://VB.NET> will have the same
level of support for the DLR as C#.
Curt,
Thanks for the feedback... this is very useful. Can you elaborate on
what you mean regarding "same level of support for the DLR as C#"? Does
that mean that VB won't be a dynamic language, but can use the DLR (eg,
to host other languages)?
Also, it seems that a language that looked similar to C# or Java (or VB
for that matter) could be implemented fairly straightforwardly using the
DLR tools. Does anyone know of a project like that (that doesn't need to
implement all of Java/C#/VB but just the main syntax/semantics)? Any big
hang-ups in implementing such a (made-up) language?

There were at least two different people working on an "IronLua", but I
think that both projects are stalled.

Hello all,
(This might not be the right place for this question...) What are
the current DLR languages, and their states? I'm wondering about
those early stabs, ones under development, from MS and others. I'm
especially interested in those that can be run cross-platform. I'd
like to see a list of resources, like:
Project: IronPython
Developer: Microsoft
URL: http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython
Version: 2.0
State: mature
DLR State: current
License: Microsoft Public License
Available as: source, binaries
Project: IronRuby
Developer: Microsoft
URL: http://www.ironruby.net/
Version: 1.0 alpha 2, source only
State: active development
DLR State: current
License: Microsoft Public License
Available as: source
Project: IronScheme
Developer: leppie
URL: http://www.codeplex.com/IronScheme
Version: 1.0 beta 1 (Oct 2008)
DLR state: early adopter; actively removing DLR?
License: Microsoft Public License
Available as: source
Not sure about:
Project: Visual Basic 10
Developer: Microsoft
URL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/default.aspx
Version: 10
State: under development?
DLR state: planned?
License: ?
Available as: binaries only?
Project: Managed JScript
Developer: Microsoft
URL:
http://blogs.msdn.com/jscript/archive/2007/05/04/managed-jscript-announced.aspx
Version: 1
State: mature
DLR state: ?
License: ?
Available as: binaries only?
Also, what about F# and J#?
I'm also working with a couple of groups who are actively developing
additional DLR languages, including a graphical data flow language,
and a proper tail-call recursion implementation of Scheme (using
continuation-passing style). More on those here soon, I hope.
If you have additions or corrections to the above list, please let
us know.
Thanks!
