During the last 10 minutes of Ander's talk The Future of C# he demonstrates a really cool C# Read-Eval-Print loop which would be a tremendous help in learning the language.
Several .NET4 related downloads are already available: Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 CTP, Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 Training Kit. Do you know what happened to this REPL? Is it somewhere hidden among examples?
I know about mono repl. Please, no alternative solutions.
Developed by Microsoft in 2000, C# was created to tackle the emerging demand for web applications. While the Redmond company had Visual Basic and C++ to work on that kind of application, the reality is that both languages had troubles in putting out high-performance software.
C# is widely used for developing desktop applications, web applications and web services. It is used in creating applications of Microsoft at a large scale. C# is also used in game development in Unity.
C# is a modern, innovative, open-source, cross-platform object-oriented programming language and one of the top 5 programming languages on GitHub.
The REPL demo was part of "what might happen next", i.e. after 4.0; in .NET 5.0 or something similar.
This is not 4.0 functionality, and never has been.
