Summary:
Delevlopers have long held that C# is Microsoft's attempt at a Java 'clone'. However, C# has many features, such as operator overloading and structs, which derive from C++ rather than from Java. Now Microsoft have just released the Beta 1 of J#, and this really is an attempt to lure Java developers into the .NET world. Adrian Young and Julian Skinner discuss the potentials and pitfalls of this new language. |
