Microsoft is working on a phased approach to enhancing its support for dynamic languages on the company's .Net platform.
Jim Hugunin, creator of the IronPython language and a development leader on Microsoft's CLR (Common Language Runtime) team, told eWEEK that Microsoft is working to help usher in support for dynamic languages on top of the CLR in a variety of levels or phases.
At the lowest level, Microsoft will be building additional support for dynamic languages into the overall .Net plumbing, Hugunin said. A level up from there, Microsoft will instantiate successful software patterns and practices into code that developers can call on from libraries to help them build applications using dynamic languages on the .Net Framework.
