Mathematica's .NET-Link technology allows Mathematica and .NET programs to interoperate seamlessly. Moreover, Microsoft's new functional programming language F# provides many familiar benefits to Mathematica programmers: http://research.microsoft.com/fsharp/ The marriage of Mathematica with F# can greatly improve productivity for a wide variety of tasks. Mathematica-F# interoperability has been discussed in the book F# for Scientists: http://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/fsharp_for_scientists/?mma and in The F#.NET Journal: http://fsharpnews.blogspot.com/2008/07/mathematica-interoperability.html Non-Windows users may also be interested in the OCaml programming language, from which F# is derived: http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/index.en.html -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy http://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/?u
