Innovations to watch for

(7/6/00) I talked with Fred Waid today and asked if he had dealt with XML in his paper for you. He said only briefly, but that Microsoft is coming out with a new language in Sept called C-Sharp which will embrace XML, Java, VB and other platforms and will be interpretive. Working in C-Sharp (spelling?), you can shift from one to another of these languages in the same program. I think the moral of the story is that it's very hard to keep up. The rest of the world thinks XML is the new thing.
