C#, CLI Accepted by ECMA

Posted by michael on from the moving-target dept.

SlipJig writes "Apparently ECMA has approved standardization of both C# (Microsoft's new programming language) and the CLI (Common Language Infrastructure). While I'm sure this won't entice the die-hard anti-MS folks, I suppose it's a good thing. Here's the article on CNet."

    Two thigs come to mind:

    1) "..Microsoft will retain control over who gets to license the technology and how it will be distributed.."

    2) "..the ECMA submission from Microsoft only defines a subset of the .Net Framework.."

    At least they actually submitted something unlike Sun with Java!

    This seems like a 'standard' in a limited sense - here's an industry standard but you can only use it if we like you!
