    Hello,

    Yes, "Java has a hell more production sites
    than Mono". This is whats wrong with this
    argument: if "having more production sites" is the
    metric to choose a technology over something new
    then we would still be running code in assembler
    and Cobol. After all, there were more production
    systems written in those than in C, C++ or Java
    when these languages came out.

    Love,
    Miguel.
