Generics are now CLS compliant!

Extra!Extra! Generics CLS-compliant in Whidbey!

Peter Drayton comes bearing good news for people who like .NET 2.0 Generics –they’ll be CLS-compliant in Whidbey. This means that developers no longerhave to make a choice between the power of generics and the cross-languagesupport implied by strict CLS compliance.

It looks like the CLS rules will be amended to require all languages to supportat least the consumption of generic types – you might not be able towrite new generic types or methods, but you’ll at least be able toconsume them. This is goodness.
