   One of the major features of .NET is supposed to be interoperability   
   between languages. This gives a third option - mix and match. Choose   
   an existing .NET HLL that provides a reasonable target model for your   
   core language features (probably C#, but the new Objective CAML based   
   F# may well be worth a serious look), and generate IL (or some other   
   ..NET language) for any features that don't easily fit.   
      
   My guess is that you'll rarely need IL - but "need" is of course only   
   one reason for using it.
