This week we talk about the future of managed languages with Mark Strawmyer, a Microsoft MVP in the C# language.  Before we dive into the future of languages, Mark and Larry talk about the past, including a trip down memory lane to discuss Visual Basic with and without line numbers.  After the interview Dave and Larry catch up and talk about their first and next programming languages.
