    Re: So I've been trying to learn C++.

    Re: Multiple inheritance?

    Re: Dynamic Languages in Visual Studio

    For those desperate to have basic IDE support for IronPython and IronRuby until Microsoft supplies it you might consider SharpDevelop which does support them, albeit not with full IntelliSense.

    Re: Microsoft leaving VB?

    It is dead in the sense that Microsoft is not developing it any further or supporting it beyond allowing the runtime to run on Vista and Windows 2008. There is nothing to stop you continuing to write...
