    There are third parties offering cross platt form Swift compilers: http://www.remobjects.com/ (no idea why their name is so wiered and why they are so hard t googl, oops might ebcause I used bing by accident)

    The stuff they offer is quite interesting.

    Why C# is the best language for mobile development...

    * You can develop native apps in it for Android and iOS

    * It is a more advanced language than the alternative languages, e.g. with its "async" language support. (which has been recently copied into Python, and is under committee review for inclusion JS and C++, but has been in VB/C# for four years already).

    (disclaimer: I work on the C#/VB language design team at Microsoft. And I'm darned proud of it.)

  3. Re:Why the Hatred for Mono? by losinggeneration · · Score: 1 · on Xamarin's First Mono Release - Proof of Life!

    For OOP though, the terchniques are the same for C++, Java and C# so unless you want them to learn the C#/.NET specific parts (eg WPF, WCF, all the wizard generated bumpf) then or learn how to use Visual Studio, you might as well show them Java instead. The tooling should be better for your platform and I'm sure you can find better example code.

    Well, if "MS doesn't make .NET for (his) platform", Visual Studio is totally out of the question. He's most likely on a *nix; so, he'd most likely go with something like MonoDevelop (GTK#) for an IDE and one of these may be chosen for a GUI toolkit (when he eventually gets to that): http://www.mono-project.com/Gui_Toolkits

    If he wants to stick with Pascal, he could also consider Oxygene which also runs on top of the CLR/Mono. This has the advantage of using all the classes already available in Mono, but with a similar syntax.

  4. Re:Go! by De+Lemming · · Score: 1 · on Google Under Fire For Calling Their Language "Go"

    In this case Google should really change the name since its been used in an existing programming language for years.

    Google already let another company change the name of their programming language, although that company used the name first. That company (RemObjects) had a language named Chrome, an Object Pascal based language for .NET. When Google published their Chrome web browser, RemObjects renamed the language to Oxygene (Wikipedia link). The details of the deal between RemObjects and Google were never disclosed, but I guess a nice amount of money changed hands.

  5. Re:Good Stuff by Coryoth · · Score: 1 · on Free Pascal 2.2 Has Been Released

    FPC has been my sidekick ever since Delphi did it's magic trick of fading into obscurity and uselessness. If you're looking for a Delphi replacement, you might want to consider Chrome, which is Object Pascal with a variety of nice extra features, including lambda expressions, generics, nullable types, and design by contract. The downsides are that it is a .NET langauge (though it works with Mono apparently), and that only the command line tools are free -- the whole suite is pricey (though comparable in cost to Delphi I guess). It is, at the least, worth looking into if you're a Pascal fan.

  7. Check out RO... by eric2hill · · Score: 1 · on Do We Need Another OO RPC Mechanism?

    Disclaimer: I'm a Team RO member.

    Check out RemObjects. It's really a brilliant piece of software and is the first RPC development system I've used that's been a real joy to work with.
