    I don't understand why the open source community does not do the exact reverse: instead of bringing .NET to Linux, why not develop a super-duper programming language and libraries for Linux AND Windows (and all other platforms)?

    And since there are so many open source developers with such a high knowledge of programming language theory, compilers etc why don't they make this language the best there is, incorporating all the wisdom, knowledge and experience that has been gained all over these years? a language that is object-oriented, functional, supports proper metaprogramming and templates, first class functions, etc ?
