    .Net question

    Hi,

    I was talking with my colleague, the .Net 2008 coming after the .Net2005.
    We are thinking if the .Net will go on for a long period of time, says like
    ..Net 2099.
    Is it possible?

    There is no .NET 2005 or .NET 2008. There is Visual Studio 2005 and
    Visual Studio 2008, or .NET 1.1, .NET 2.0, .NET 3.0 and .NET 3.5

    But to be honest, I don't understand the question... I rather doubt that
    we'll be using the same frameworks in 90 years time - the very nature of
    computing changes too quickly.

      It does raise the question of whether at some stage things will
      stabilise though. Will there still be loads of active programming
      languages in 50 years' time? 1000 years? I can't imagine that the rate
      of progress in computer science will be the same in 1000 years time,
      so there is likely to be less call for evolving languages and
      platforms. Computing is still relatively immature at the moment, which
      I suspect explains the rate of innovation.

      On the other hand, mankind does seem to be rather good at keeping
      inventive - including reinventing the wheel pretty frequently...

        The more important thing is this. Are you going to be around to see it? If
        you were there during that timeframe would you even care?

          It reminds of the joke I used back in 1999.

          While we (my software company and I) were ok with Y2K...........
          None of our code was Y10K compliant !!!

            You should've used this :) http://www.rfc.net/rfc2550.html

            I suppose the similarities between today's "computing" and 2099's will
            be of the same sort of magnitude as between today's and 1900's, i.e.
            rather few.

            Eq.

              Dang, and I thought my stuff was original. Well, I didn't copy it from
              anyone, just some others thought of it as well.

              Oh well.

                What is the "question behind the question" here? Do you want to know if it's
                worth to invest years of you life learning the .Net rather than some other
                language?

                In other words, you are asking yourselves "Will my skills be good up to the
                year 2099?"?

                  If you're trying to make yourself more marketable, you may want to see
                  this: http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/conte...pci/index.html

                  This site was discussed in Dr. Dobbs and on /. It shows that the
                  languages are stabilizing (somewhat) and .NET looks to be around for
                  quite a while.

                    I doubt that .NET will be used in 2099 (I am pretty convinced that
                    it will be in 2029 though).

                    And MS frequently changes naming conventions so VS 2008 may be
                    replaced by VS 2011 or VS 10.0 or something else.

                        I think that would give to many people Apple or Borland
                        associations.

                        But you never know.

                          I would think there absolutely NO .NET 2099.
                          BUT there will be VS 2010.
                          Since 2010 is multiple of 10, MS will make a new release of VS.

                              Jason,

                              Before the '70 one digit for a year was enough as no program had a longer
                              lifecycle than 10 years

                              In the 70 almost evertbody started with 2 digits, however that was not
                              enough to overcome the millenium bugs.

                              Now everybody is using 4 digits, that should be enough for 10000 years,
                              probably 6000 in future as we want to do human history with that.

                              So what is 92 years?

                              :-)
