I've been hearing variations of the same story every couple of years for the last 20 + years.

.. and usually in a similar unsubstantiated unreferenced anonymous form.

Last 4 years everybody also said that VBA would be killed, but in the 2014 release there is a new VBA (also for 64 bits).

The conclusion is justified that the initialization of the development of critical subsystem optimizes the probability of success to the development of the technical behavior over a given period.

This... Is the reason I decided to jump from Visual LISP to .NET API (still waiting to land on my feet  :-P), as I saw no point in learning another ActiveX API, when .NET API offered so much more than just Forms.

After hearing that a developer told me that selection filters in .net using dxf is likely to go away, completely. quirks my tummy a little... first thought was "this is the start, isn't it! they plan to wipe away years of perfection"...

c# better not go away... my hard drive is full... anyone know the alias for a mental erase?

I remember a developer event in munich (guess it was for R14+/-). Jeremy Tammik, a top programmer of Autodesk, presents the new ARX interface as the bright future of programming languages in AutoCAD. In this connection he also says AutoLISP will die.
The funny thing was, that he used AutoLISP for loading and calling the ARX samples.

Oh, forgot to say... and where is ARX?

Cheers
