Miguel de Icaza Explains How To "Get" Mono
LeninZhiv writes "It's perhaps the most controversial project in the open source world, but this mostly stems from misunderstanding: Mono, the open source development platform based upon Microsoft's .NET framework. Immediate reactions from many dubious Linux developers have ranged from confusion over its connection with .NET to wondering what the benefits of developing under it are. Throughout the course of its four years of intense development, sponsored by Novell, Mono founder Miguel de Icaza has had to frequently clarify the .NET issue and sell the community on it. In this new interview, Howard Wen asks Miguel to explain himself one more time."
Perhaps, but Java/C# don't require all of those unwieldily parenthesis all over the place!
Come on Lisp, you've been around for 50 years, can't you fix that problem with parenthesis?
No matter where you go... there you are.
I'm confident that even Microsoft could have done a better job than Sun. THAT's what Mono has to offer.
Once I learned that Java didn't have unsigned data types, it was all downhill from there.
That is really pathetic. A whole week to solve one issue? Man, I wouldn't want to hire you! Doesn't matter if it was Windows or Linux!
