Re: Future of Java

Jon:

Isn't C++ part of .NET?

Yes and No, see the other link, but the thing is, most code for .NET
will be written in C#, VB.NET. Hence C++ for .NET is just there to
please the old MFC VC++ programmers. And I think it will probably die
as a MicroSoft environment supported máin language. C++ is used for
some open source projects, and a bit with Borland C++ Builder. So if
you would like to specialize in .NET, C# is the best choice, IMHO, not
C++.
