What languages will developers be able to use to create ASP.NET pages

"We will have three languages supported out of the box -- VB, C# and JScript. We will also have approximately 19 other languages ready in the next month or two that will be supported by other companies. These languages include: Cobol, Perl, Python, Eiffel, SmallTalk, Lisp, Scheme, Objective Camel, etc.

"From a development standpoint, it really makes sense to pick a language that you feel most comfortable with -- and then really become a master at programming with it. The great thing is that we now have a common runtime/debugging environment that lets you consume any .NET Framework API from it (EventLogs, Perf Counters, Data Access, etc). So the language you choose is really a "lifestyle" choice -- whatever you feel most comfortable and productive with."
