M is for Microsoft?

Microsoft announced Friday their new 'M' language, designed especially for building textual domain-specific languages and software models with XAML.

The new language is to be a part of Microsoft’s new Oslo development and service-oriented strategy, incorporating features from XAML while being textual and domain-specific. M is to be used directly with 2 other components to be released with M along with Visual Studio 2010: Quadrant, a tool for building models visually, and a repository for storing and viewing models in an SQL database.

They say it's also supposed to be cross platform, Let me clarify that statement. By cross platform we mean that this is portable to both Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Vista.

And that is just exactly what I need, another sub par language to learn... Like "D" also from Microsoft.

NOTE:
I don’t design in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF. On most days I don't design at all, if I don't have to so, YMMV!
