Talk:List of CLI languages

Move
Since with "Microsoft .NET Languages" - "Microsoft" may refer to both the .NET platform and the languages and .NET is commonly identified with Microsoft a more general title is given to this article. -- mfx  Q&A 11:08, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Flagship?
I would have thought Microsoft's "flagship" .NET language is C#, not VB. Most of the .NET Framework is written in C#, and a majority of the articles on MSDN and so on use C#. I suggest deleting the flagship description from VB, and moving C# to the top of the list of Microsoft languages. I don't think describing any language as "flagship" adds much value, and don't propose to add the word to the description of C#.

Language VBx?
The information is wrong. VBx is the code name of the upcoming VB version (VB 10), not an own language. True, it will support the DLR but that doesn't make it a separate language from VB. For reference, see http://www.panopticoncentral.net/archive/2007/05/01/20383.aspx

Any reason this should stay nontheless? If not – I'll remove it.--87.77.158.189 (talk) 13:49, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Misc
The Lexico link seems to go to a topic unrelated to programming languages... 75.170.232.147 (talk) 11:58, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Dead links, old or unreleased projects should be cleaned
For example, Haskell links should be revised:


 * "Haskell for .NET" (known as Mondrian) no longer exists.
 * "Haskell.net" is a pure vaporware: nothing was ever released.
 * "Hugs for .NET" has a dead link. The project seems to no longer exist (if ever).

I guess many other projects are dead for years, or did never release anything (except pure ideas).

So the article can be misleading, giving the idea there are many languages using the CLI, which is not necessarily true.

 * Also the Net Express (for COBOL) link is broken and it is an IDE; I assume the compiler is separate or the same as another Micro Focus compiler so Net Express is probably not relevant.

 * Perhaps the article should be split into several sections for languages under active development, research languages and dead languages or similar.
 * I'd probably prefer the list in tabular form too - with column for release dates, development status and related languages.Sparkie00o (talk) 13:57, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

This article should be disambiguated with the older, better known meaning of CLI as Command Line Interface. Command Line Interface Languages are many, such as Unix shells and descendents of MS-DOS (and even before there was CP/M) batch languages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.28.168.54 (talk) 13:05, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

New CLI Language Proposed
I would like to add the below bullet to the list of CLI Languages. Please let me know if you see any reason this edit will not be successful and remain on the CLI Languages Wikipedia Page.


 * Synergy DBL .NET: an object oriented CLI compliant implementation of DBL and DIBOL.
