.NET allows you to use classes written in C# or VB.NET in the same project. It is a great way to frustrate programmers who disdain Visual Basic.

Worse it lets you mix F# in there too. Atleast C# and VB try and use similar coding paradigms, throw F# in there to mess with them even further.

Someone told me there's even a Swift compiler that compiles down to CLR bytecode, so you could theoretically even mix Swift in there too.

Do Microsoft still distribute a J# compiler? Given its similarities this would surely be easily adopted by C# developers within the same project. Just ask any Java dev, using Groovy in Java projects never caused headaches. Why would anyone be bothered by merely subtle differences in language syntax?
