Saying C# is the best {} language isn't saying much. I'm not impressed so far. I'm very glad that MS picked up IronPython - for one, it's great to say to PHB's "IronPython is safe, because it's backed up MS".

D looks interesting for a static language, but does not look well supported (e.g. show me a D compiler for ARM7TDMI MCU's). I suspect a better approach for high productivity embedded apps would be a compact dynamic language and C/C++ (gcc).

There is a D front end for GCC, which I presume you could compile on any platform that supports GCC. But that's somewhat conjectural, and doesn't really refute the argument that the language isn't well-supported.

OTOH, it really is a very elegant language design. Of all statically-typed languages, it reminds me most of Python.
