Other than IronPython and F#, what other .NET languages might be useful?

Question

After falling in love with F# after only reading the website, and having a friend convince me to try IronPython, what else is there aside from those already included with Visual Studio 2008?

Many.

IronRuby is lots of fun. You may also find Small Talk to be interesting.

Answer 3

LuaInterface might caught your interest

I would check out the "Boo" language. Similar to Python and targets the .NET framework. It also comes standard with #develop IDE.

Answer 5

You might be interested by the Fan Programming Language, which targets both the Java VM and the .NET CLR. I haven't tried it yet, but I like the way it is designed.

Answer 6

Delphi/Pascal - it gives a glimpse of where C# came from

Answer 7

is it a language or is it a shell? You should at least be familar with Powershell.

Windows Powershell. An interesting scripting environment that uses the .Net Framework. It is kinda both a shell and language.
