Mono's MCS Compiles Itself On Linux

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the self-hosting-to-come dept.

thing12 writes "On Thursday Paolo Molaro announced that he had managed to build the MCS C# compiler using MCS. This is a big step forward for Mono, as it means that Mono is almost a self hosting environment."

    Too bad you can't spell Iraqi. You also call Americans racist and imperialist. That's just nonsense, just ask the Kuwatis about Iraqi pirates who invaded, plundered, murdered, raped and vandalised before the Americans managed to kick your asses out of there.

    When dealing with bastards like the Iraqis WAR is the ONLY answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The thing is.. Mono will not get far at all. Microsoft and its .NET project is growing, and quite rapidly too. Personally, i'm not too crazy about .NET nor Mono, because I believe this may cause a bit of a chaotic scene to old programs that many people will use. And yet, .NET allegedly uses old dynamic link libraries to support these program, who knows how efficient that will be. The fact is, work at our own pace, leave us/them alone. Mono also lacks sponsorships of any kind.

    Yeah, but like everything else your open sauce hippies try to force on the rest of the world, it totaly sucked.

    Maybe that's just because it runs on linux, and everyone knows, LINUX SUCKS.

  14. a couple of years work ahead by markj02 · · Score: 2, Troll
    I still think it's a shame Mono has gone off doing C# when the analogous project based on Java would already be much further along--there are several free, open source Java compilers, a good open source JIT from Intel, and lots of library code. Furthermore, such a Java project could have started several years ago, when the Gnome crowd was still claiming that anything other than plain C was just not suitable for writing applications or GUIs in.

    It looks like the Mono project still has a couple of years of work ahead of them until they get to a reasonably full features C# implementation. Let's hope it's worth it.

    Because Linux developers are mostly 25 year old virgins too busy whacking off over the vulcan chick in the new Star Trek show to come up with an original idea on their own.

    Let's face it, if it wasn't for the big bad enemy Microsoft leading the way, the entire Linux software library would be image utilities for removing the clothes from Natalie Portman's publicity stills for The Professional.
