More recently, some languages have emerged that are primarily object-oriented, but that are also compatible with procedural methodology. Two such languages are [[Python (programming language)|Python]] and [[Ruby programming language|Ruby]]. Probably the most commercially important recent object-oriented languages are [[Java (programming language)|Java]], developed by [[Sun Microsystems]], as well as [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]] and [[Visual Basic.NET]] (VB.NET), both designed for Microsoft's [[.NET Framework|.NET]] platform. Each of these two frameworks shows, in its way, the benefit of using OOP by creating an abstraction from implementation. VB.NET and C# support cross-language inheritance, allowing classes defined in one language to subclass classes defined in the other language.
