Isn't Mono a disease? ;P Chris Meech If you spin a Chinese person around, do they become dis-oriented? Why do people in this time period worry so much about time traveler's destroying their worldline when they have no problem doing it themselves every day? John Titor.

Latest Article: Breadcrumbs in ASP.NETI see all this as nothing more than a bunch of paranoid Linux conspiracy theorists. If they are so concerned about this, then the Mono project should die, and they can continue using C++ and/or Java. BUT, since everyone here is seemingly going for good puns, I'll throw in mine ... and maybe make a few more Linux developers squirm in their seats. "Mono Project - It's the kiss of death" (for Linux) :laugh: D.

A real shame. Mono has the potential to make .Net a true multi-OS platform... Imaging that, you could write a single program, using multiple languages of your choice, for multiple operating systems. How big a sigh of relief that'd be to me as a developer! I think there are people in the Linux community who see past all conspiracies and realize that Mono can play an important role in the open source movement, and in the future of computing in general. It will be interesting to see how it pans out. While I trust Microsoft's better judgement on this on, should they ever file a lawsuit against Ximian for Mono, that'd surely be the last straw for me. I love C# and the .Net platform, but to try to stop multi-OS support on .Net would be almost stabbing me, as a developer, in the back, for the sole purpose of keeping Windows as the dominant OS. Pray that doesn't happen. The graveyards are filled with indispensible men.

Sounds like a paranoid Java developer to me. The only compelling advantage Java has ever held is it’s multi-platform capabilities. If .NET becomes multi-platform capable through Mono then what happens to Java? Hmm, this may be a good time to write “Switch from Java to C# in 21 days”… Martin Cook Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Not necessarily. Mono would require that the assemblies be signed with the same key pair as the .NET BCL assemblies, or pre-compiled apps wouldn't work. Sure, you could always cross-compile, but that defeats the purpose of multi-platform run-time support, doesn't it? :) I've always wondered how they plan on handling that one. As far as devs using reflection to access native methods buried in the BCL, and using things like P/Invoke or anything else in the non-CLSCompliant classes, that's their fault and they should expect problems. But using the BCL in a CLS-compliant manner should work, so long as the strong names for dependent assemblies are the same (name, version, public key token).
