X# Functional Programming from Microsoft?

Posted by timothy on from the rumor-pile dept.

TheSync writes "SearchWebServices.Com has an article claiming that Microsoft is working on a functional language named 'X#'. The language is supposed to be data-oriented and LISP-like, but set up to handle XML."

    Being sharp isn't a good thing... It's actually common for singers who don't know how to sing to sing sharp

    Wrong. Being out of key is bad, yes. Being slightly sharp or slightly flat is out of key. Just being sharp simply means being one semi-tone higher. In the key of G, F# is perfectly in key. This post is just flaimbait, bashing Microsoft for no real reason.

    OT: I know...

    Yeah, but even then, that flat-9 is added for the effect that it is out of tune..

    C# has it's place in a key of C song, just it shouldn't be used totally.
