Far from promoting one universal programming language, the Internet is encouraging a multiplicity of new ones. The dispute between Sun Microsystems, producers of Java, and Microsoft, creators of C#, is being followed with great interest by both the financial world and as programmers. Java has become synonymous with programming for the Internet, and the language played a key role in the protracted legal battle between Microsoft and the U.S. government's trust-busters. It was therefore not surprising that Microsoft launched its own programming language in 2000. However, things are changing within the world of programming semantics.
