dotnet clr:
Hello !

I am new to the community and related stuff. However I was wondering that
wether CLR would be able to understand or can be extended to context
sensitivity. If some programming languages already exists and it targets .NET
please let me know about and if not, I am thinking to work on such a
language, that may be on very small scale, but it must be. Hoping to hear
nice comments.

Regards,

Hello !

I heard of Anders Heljsberg eplaining the idea of Data Programming. I was
asking this, in the context of that. This means semantic net based Semantic
and intelligent programming. I know that 4 languages are part of .NET
Framework, but what I wanted to actually know was, is there any sort of Meta
Level context programming language available? Like I was reading about F# but
it is purely functional and has not much context based features. So that was
my concern.

Please explain what you mean by the CLR able to understand context
sensitivity and if some programming languages exist that target .NET.

The .NET Framework (of which the CLR is a part) processes Microsoft's
Intermediate Language (MSIL). Currently, there are 4 native .NET languages
(meaning that the Framework has 4 compilers that will take a language and
compile it down to MSIL). These languages are: Visual Basic.NET, C#
(pronounced See-Sharp), J# and C++ .NET.

Hello !!

By intelligent programming I mean situation specific behaviour. Like how a
class or function can behave differently in different situations. May be the
attribute feature of C# provides some sort of this functionality. By
semantics I mean a function of class reads some sort of Meta Data and perform
accordingly. I hope you understand now.

Haroon

I still don't understand what you are asking about. Any of the .NET
languages can have classes that respond differently to different situations.
In particular, VB.NET is very much about event-driven programming.

The 4 .NET languages I mentioned earlier are the only .NET languages that
are native the .NET Framework.

Maybe i'm not understanding, but it sounds like your talking about
programming against an interface, and using polymorphism.
