I find it interesting that by developing Mono the free software
community is actively and quickly embracing and extending a Microsoft
standard. Way to go!
Nevertheless, my own personal choice for a language
would be Objective
CAML. It's as fast as C, and uses type inference, so you get
static typing without all the hassle of having to defining every variable's type (as in Java, C, etc. ...). And of course it has garbage collection,
LISP macros, data matching and all the features you'd want in a modern
language (and won't find in Java or C#).
Rich.
