Mono and .NET - An Interview

Posted by chrisd on from the not-the-kissing-disease dept.

all-of-the-dot writes "Would you use an open-source implementation of the .NET Framework? Ximian's Mono project enables you to build .NET apps that run on Linux and Unix as well as Windows. Check out the story from .NET Magazine's interview with Miguel de Icaza, Ximian cofounder and CTO" Added to which, AirLace writes "The Mono project has just achieved full self-hosting on Linux. While the C# compiler, itself written in C#, has been able to compile itself since March, Mono can now compile its own complete set of class libraries too. This announcement closely follows the release of the Phonic media player, the first .NET application for the GNOME desktop."

    from the Ximian web site:

    * The Mono C# compiler was able to compile itself on December
    28th, 2002. The resulting image contained errors though.

    i'd say it was a good guess that they have errors with announcements like that...

  3. I can hardly wait! by Eric+Damron · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes! Give me .Net! I can hardly wait to run all of the windows apps including the lates viri!

    I really think that Linux is missing out on the fun. I mean sure, it's stable and secure but what adventure is there in that? I want to wonder every time I boot up if I'll see: "You have been hacked by the Windoz Nukum Worm! Hard drive formatting now...."!

    Oh yes! Why should Windows users have all of the fun?
