Mono Poises to Take Over the Linux Desktop

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the and-do-it-with-style dept.

Edd Dumbill writes "Miguel de Icaza and the Mono team recently hosted a two day open meeting in Boston. O'Reilly have just published my report of the meeting. Highlights include Miguel's view that 'C is dead!' and the Mono approach to dealing with Microsoft patents on .NET."

  1. Miguel's fantasies by A+nonymous+Coward · · Score: 3, Troll

    The more he slides under Microsoft's spell, the more I distrust his pronouncements. It's as if he thinks he alone has discovered the magic potion that will allow him to befriend Microsoft with groveling and flattery such that they will actually respect him and not pull the rug out from under him. Why he should be the one exception in all their history is beyond me.

    I have pretty much come to the conclusion that if Miguel says it is so, it ain't.

    He wrote he used it a few months. In fact so did I and I came to exactly the same conclusion. He is not flaming but gave some very valid comments on C#.

    Please, you learn both Java and C# and you MUST come to the same conclusion: C# is nothing more than a bastardized Java with some "instant short term gratification" features thrown in, at the cost of a loss in consistency and qualtity on the whole.
