Re: My Suggestion : A New C# compiler for native code

And who would really want it? If you've learned C# then you are
already a .NET developer. There is no reason to deliberately avoid
the .NET runtime unless you want to target your product at Windows 95
machines. And that doesn't happen very often, surely?

If you're writing an Office or Explorer plug-in, MS strongly
reccomends that you use native code. The problem is that an application
normally can only host one version of the framework. So, if you have
two plug ins written with different versions of the framework, the one
loaded last will load into a version of the framework other than the
one it was targeted for. (And .net 2.0 isn't completely compatible with
1.1.)
So, having one language for both .net and native code is a plus. (And
MS appears to be backing off on C++/CLR integration. They listened to
their customers who said, "We don't do managed C++."
