As I said it is Beta 2 with a "go-live" license. I don't see the point of this question:) You wouldn't lose anything if you download, install it in a tnon-production machine (or Virtual PC) and start coding today either for real or for learning/testing.

I chose C#/F# as my shift ( and not a fall back, it is certainly a "forward" thing ). I don't know Java to make a comparison. Thinking of the environments I have .Net and C# was the best path for me. You would give the decision yourself. Both have all the resources for free to develop and test.
