However, there are a few projects in the Java world that I'd look at with great interest. First, there is XML-based SWT, being developed for eclipse. It is called XWT. The other thing is JavaFX, but it's quite new and I don't know if anybody uses it. Right now, C# offers the best experience for writing Windows Desktop applications, as it integrates nicely with COM and can invoke native code. Now, since most people here probably haven't worked on bigger projects with both VS and Eclipse, their opinion will be mostly based on what they've used on a daily basis. Code completion and template-completion without plugins is somewhat on par with eclipse. Coding experience is eclipse for java is superior (without plugins). Now, VS + plugins for .NET is unparallelled. So far as refactoring goes, you've got everything in eclipse, but they've managed to make the menus overcrowded and confusing.

Scala (program) Scala can retune MIDI streams and files using pitch bend.

Scala (program)

It also supports MIDI sysex and file-based tunings. Originally a command-line program, Scala now uses the GTK+ GUI toolkit. Scala is written in the Ada programming language, and is the work of Manuel Op de Coul of the Netherlands. Scala can also be used as a midi sequencer, by way of its ASCII-based sequencing format, seq. Because of its great flexibility when it comes to tuning formats, it is a very powerful tool for those who want to compose and sequence microtonal music. Scala can open, transform, and save standard MIDI files. Scala's home page. Easy to use, web-based digital signage software.

He was also Chief Architect and Co-Founder at Arjuna Technologies, an HP spin-off). His article looks into the future of programming languages and is, at the very least, an informative look at how new languages might/should be developed, and why Java just might be solution of the future. One thing that I found interesting was his pointing out nginx as a group that has done a good job of taking advantage of already existing language capabilities. You can read this article over at his blog here. I would also suggest reading his blog regularly. My Gre score is 1160(800+360).
