Mono Project Releases Version 1.0

Posted by timothy on from the what-a-singular-monkey dept.

theblackdeer writes "Just poking around the go-mono.com Mono website; it's now the multi-colored mono-project.com. Even better, it updated before my eyes to include the 1.0 release. Screenshots are (slightly) updated, too. Mono 1.0 includes the Mono Develop IDE (based on SharpDevelop, I believe). Download now and start your GTK# engines!" Alliante adds "You can download the Release Notes and the Packages on their website."

  1. Re:Why .NET and not Java? by sbrown123 · · Score: 1, Troll


    GC so that if you are creating and destroying thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of variables the GC doesn't have to constantly collect.

    Give an example of where this is needed.

    Also note that structs can be created, manipulated, and destroyed with Java with JNI and CNI.


    In .NET they are actually part of the backend. The VM. In Java, in the VM they're all just boxed objects. And lots of typecasts. Shitty. Google around for better explainations.

    Java 1.5 has auto unboxing. Same thing .NET has. This was added on top of JSR-14. You are probably looking at the original generics design for Java 1.5 on googled pages. Its been updated.
