Wow!  Yes, you're right.  DotGNU can provide equal support to
multiple bytecode formats, starting right now by supporting both
IL and Java bytecode.

It could happen that every couple of years a new Bytecode format
is invented which is much better than everything that has come
before it.  We certainly shouldn't make a decision now that
will make it difficult to add the newest and best bytecode
format to DotGNU then.

By equally supporting both C# and Java, DotGNU can become a home
both for those Java programmers who decide to migrate to C# and
also for those Java programmers who prefer to continue working
with Java.

We could even have friendly competitions between the C# and Java
teams, which will inspire both teams to move their respective
project forward as quickly as possible.

Greetings, Norbert.
