Public Standards: C# 2, Java 0

Posted by timothy on from the fast-track-authority dept.

TheAncientHacker writes "While Java coders wait for SUN to be willing to accept any public standards for the Java language and runtime, Microsoft's C# and its underlying CLI, already standardized by ECMA, are about to get a second certification. This time by by the granddaddy of certification groups, the ISO."

    Ever heard of Mono? Ever heard of Apache.Net? You need to do some more homework....MS only implemented .Net on their platform, but other groups are doing so on other platforms.

    Spoken like a MS hater who isn't familiar with the products.

    The .NET framework has been available for Win 2k and XP for some time, and VS.net has been advertised right here on slashdot forever. .NET server was renamed Windows 2003 because it was confusing people like you.

    A language is not an operating system. Saying .NET only works on Win 2003 is like saying Java only works on Solaris.

  3. Try Java 922, C# 2.... by SuperKendall · · Score: 5, Informative

    Hey, have a look over at JCP.org.

    There's 922 JSR's there, all public standards underway that anyone (that includes YOU and ME) can comment on. Where can I go to comment on the C# standards underway?

    So, which is the more open standard?

    What a maroon. (Yes, I did spell that right).
