For a brief teaser, here is an interview with Don Syme (in French and
English) http://www.dotnetguru.org/articles/DonSyme/DonInterview.htm .
This interviewer obviously has a good sense of humour re: "bonne
continuation".

Don Syme's ".NET Projects Page" at
http://research.microsoft.com/~dsyme/netproj.htm has technically
interesting stuff, namely "ILX", an extended IL that supports generics,
closures, and functions as types.

I am not sure how literally these things will be realised in CLR 1.1.
