.NET 4 Future

.NET Framework 4.0



Microsoft announced the .NET Framework 4.0 on 29 September 2008. While full details about its feature set have yet to be released, some general information regarding the company's plans have been made public. Some focus of this release are:

• Improve support for parallel computing, which target multi-core or distributed systems. To this end, they plan to include technologies like PLINQ (Parallel LINQ), a parallel implementation of the LINQ engine, and Task Parallel Library, which exposes parallel constructs via method calls.
• Full support for IronPython, IronRuby, and F#.
• Support for a subset of the .NET Framework and ASP.NET with the "Server Core" variant of Windows Server 2008 R2.
• Support for Code Contracts.
