Windows OS already supports many development languages, including C++, JavaScript/HTML5, iVisual Basic, Visual C# and XAML. However, Microsoft is trying to add more development language supports in the next-generation PC operating system Windows 8. Microsoft revealed that they would support more development languages for Windows 8 app development at the Lang.Next Conference this week.

Microsoft development manager and chief executive Martyn Lovell, claimed that "I hope the developers can create and develop more languages ​on ​the latest  WinRT development platform."



Microsoft in recent weeks posted a series of postings on Windows 8 application development blog on how to use the existing development language to create a "fast and smooth" Metro-style applications. The addition of new development language allows developers to choose their favorite languages to develop Windows
8 applications.



After this week's Lang.Next conference, Lovell admitted WinRT will provide 'home' for any development language, although some development languages can not be perfectly compatible with WinRT, Microsoft hopes in the future Windows 8 application supports most development  languages.
