in thread "Why Perl is better than Java & .NET" article.

Sure, .NET is not a language. It is a set of libraries and a runtime. I think most .NET programming is done in Visual C++. .NET is however an alternative development target to Perl and Java, and the reason it is considered.

Update: Article cancelled due to lack of support.

    Er, no. I would say that most .NET programming is done in C# (or possibly VB.NET - there are reasonable VB6 to VB.NET code conversion tools available.) ; Managed C++ is largely only used where there is an existing codebase that needs to be migrated to the .NET framework.
