I have read the following in Microsoft's book " Developing Web Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic.Net and Microsoft Visual C#.Net" :
"ASP.NET and, indeed, the whole .NET Framework are programming languages independent. That means you can choose any language that has implemented a CLR-compliant compiler. In addition to developing its own programming languages, Microsoft has formed partnerships with many language vendors to provide .NET support for Perl, Eiffel, Cobol, Python, Smalltalk, and other programming languages."
My question is, does that mean that I can use .NET using java and not j#? If any of you has sufficient information about this, please explain it to me.

"That means you can choose any language that has implemented a CLR-compliant compiler."

Find a CLR-compliant Java compiler, and you're in business. However, I don't expect you'll be able to find one. Maybe someday, depending on how far Sun sells out.

I know java, and I know some c#, I have to say I like codeing w/ c# more, it just seems like it is more logical then java.

Maybe its just the fact that I was forced to learn it and the environment I have to use it in. I just despise it!

I love Java too, that's why I was hoping I could write .NET applications using Java. I don't wanna go through something else.

Count me as the second.

It's been a while since I've touched it, but there were just too many things about it that p!$$3d me off when I did deal with it. I'd much rather use C++ for compute intensive stuff or VB.NET for GUIs.
