I see an F# compiler with MS Visual Studio 2010, I heard about J#, are they the same thing?
J# was a product which took Java 1.1.4 code and produced IL which (combined with assemblies to provide the libraries for Java 1.1.4) allowed some Java code to be built and run on .NET. It’s been discontinued, and I never saw much sign of it being very widely used – even if you wanted to run Java code, by the time .NET came out most Java developers were writing Java 2 code, so their programs weren’t supported by J# anyway.
F# is a functional language with object-oriented features which compiles to IL and runs on .NET. Very cool stuff 🙂 F# is very much alive and kicking.
