language independance is still a hype. Micro$oft's claim about language independance is not new with .NET. They've been claiming the same language independance with COM/DCOM, and all of us saw how much those claims were true. Now, they've started the same claims with .NET, which're not true either. And yes, its possible if you end up modifying all of the languages to conform to similar features. You can observe this thing happening to VB.net, as millions of VB developers are complaining about the modifications to the language: http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2675 673,00.html Some VB developers are saying that its no more Visual Basic but Visual Fred or VB.NOT.
