Signs on the Sand

Chris Lovett's internal Microsoft presentation of X# language project (Oct 2002) has leaked - download it here (via jayson knight).

Well, the project is dead. Probably that's good, because it really sounds like monstrous deadly mix of XSD/XSLT/XQuery/SQL and C#. But still really interesting and I strongly believe it's based on not only interesting, but fruitful ideas and we'll hear something about such thing again. As a matter of interest, BizTalk 2004 Beta includes xsharpp.exe utility, which seems to be X# to C# translator (I'm not sure actually that's the same X# though).
