Please note: I really like DotNet, I just really favor multi-language
projects. I'd really like to be able to combine vb.net, c#, c++ and
IL in a single project (and no ILMerge isn't good enough... I want
this as an IDE experience)

I think each language has it's place and that each is very good at a
particular set of things. I'd just like to be able to combine the
best of each :)

Let's not forget C, Python and perhaps also LaTeX.

In the same IDE... Now isn't that the wet dream of every code-monkey.

I sense a little sarcasm (Always hard to tell for certain in the written word.)

However I would certainly not object to any language being able to integrate in this fashion.

Of course you would pick and choose which languages you had in your own IDE.

I think it would be great to create an addtional partial class file in order to implement some functionality in c# when the existing vb.net class didn't support the functionality you were after.

Whilst this could be seriously abused, I think it could also prove useful.

Writing code in...

Whitespace( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_(programming_language) ) Or
BrainFuck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck) (Sorry about the language :))

.... would still be pretty stupid :)


But when something is truely best represented in a different language then it's a little harsh to make the programmer create an entirely new project just to support this.
