Interoperability with existing .NET libraries (XML, web services, Windows Forms etc.) and (probably) support for a much larger subset of Mathematica due to the inheritance of an efficient run-time and garbage collector from .NET. I could give more details but some links on the MathCore site are broken: http://www.mathcore.com/products/mathcode/mathcodec++_subset.pdf http://www.mathcore.com/products/mathcode/mathcodef90_subset.pdf so I cannot tell what subset of Mathematica they support. > Is .NET portable to other OS's? There is an open-source port of .NET to Linux and Mac OS X called Mono. However, it would probably be easier to target a high-performance functional language native to Linux and Mac OS X, like OCaml. -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd.
