Years ago the food company Heinz used to refer to itself as Heinz 57 because it sold 57 varieties of foodstuff :) I don't think that .NET has ever referred to itself in this way but there are a large number of languages which target it and there's a list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CLI_languages I counted 58 current entries.

Judging by this page they're separate products: http://www.microfocus.com/products/micro-focus-developer/index.aspx but whether they use the same underlying COBOL compiler or not I don't know. It's not a language I use or have ever used.

Well Vulpes; that was easy except it is not that easy. I did the same; I went to the Micro Focus web site and went down from there to find Net Express. It is an IDE; I assume the language is the same as that compiled by a compiler listed separately.

Back to 58 again though I've never heard of some of them: http://www.microfocus.com/products/micro-focus-developer/netexpress_serverexpress/index.aspx#Relatedproducts

The link for Net Express is broken so that makes 57.
