Using different languages in a .NET project

I get asked this question a lot that what are the advantages of using different languages in the .NET envirnment. The .NET framework does not care what language you use and compiles the code into the IL (Intermidiate Language). From there the IL is converted to the native assembly code. The main advantage of using different languages is to give the developer more flexibiltiy in creating the application. The VB (VB6) developer might be more comfortable with the VB.NET syntax and can create cool UI rapidly. The C++ & Java developer might be comfortable with C# and can use it to develope business language.

Hence, the whole idea of using different .NET compliant languages is to put developer on ease while developing the Enterprise Applications.
