    Notice in the article that Microsoft invited representatives from a LOT of different languages to the table when designing the CLR, to ensure that while they might not necessarily support them all ideally in v1, they wanted to make sure they weren't doing anything that would preclude them from supporting them in the future.

    The next version of the CLR adds support for generics and some other stuff.. language support will only get better. (I don't see Sun working on making the JVM better suited to languages other than Java...)
