O'Reilly Open Source Conference VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 11, 2000 ActiveState, a leading supplier of Internet programming software and services, announced today support for Microsoft Corp.'s next generation .NET Framework software with Perl .NET and Python .NET. Their benefits include easy interoperability between languages, cross-language inheritance and they will enable programmers to simply create, extend and consume .NET components. The .NET Framework is a multi-language, component software architecture from Microsoft that is XML-based, supports SOAP, is scalable, includes error handling and debugging capabilities, and will reduce the amount of 'plumbing' code programmers will need to write. "As the leader in open source programming languages, we're delighted to provide more options for the millions of Perl and Python developers," said Dick Hardt Dick Hardt (May 28, 1963) is the founder and CEO of Sxip Identity. He is an advocate of Identity 2.0.

Framework removes the technical barriers of true cross-language development enabling Perl and Python programmers to leverage components built with other languages and vice versa VICE VERSA. On the contrary; on opposite sides. . This allows programmers to use the language they're most familiar with and that's best suited for the task." "Microsoft is excited to see the .NET Framework supported by these popular open source scripting languages," said John Montgomery John Montgomery may refer to:
"The .NET Framework fits Perl's motto of 'making easy things easy and hard things possible.' It allows you to directly use components developed in other programming languages without having to write any kind of glue layer," said Jan Dubois, senior developer, ActiveState. "The new Perl .Net compiler also allows you to create .NET Framework components, making the expressive power Expressive power is a relatively generic term used by Abelson and Sussman in Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs to describe the conciseness with which a particular logical design may be translated into a computer program in a given programming language. of Perl available everywhere."
