"It even helps them"...
Yes it does since apparently a growing number of morons out there delude themselves into thinking that they can go cross-platform with mono.
---
mono is a disease - Java is the cure.
"So why the fuck are they doing a bytecode language?"
Er, cause they want to pretend they're Java?
Fact is since M$ hasn't bothered to provide a.net runtime even for the Mac (Ok i understand not porting VS) indicates to me that they're not bothering to compete with Java since they lost anyway.

That's not my experience. Mcafee is constantly scanning the files so whenever I recompile, the system grinds to a halt. I have to suspend it all the time.
It isn't a large project if you're writing it yourself. Large projects require teams of developers. You by yourself does not a team make.;)
VB 6 would be OK for this kind of project although it's a bit dated now. If your boss is stuck on VB you could try recommending VB.NET (which also sucks but)...

Here in a nutshell is what's wrong with dynamic typing.
// Proto language dynamic typed // This function trims a string from the 2nd param FUNCTION trimString(a, b) IF typeOf a <> "String" OR TypeOf b <> "Number" // er, not sure what I should do here. // Maybe the caller passed the wrong params OR // maybe I was passed the wrong number of params OR // maybe I was passed NO params // I "guess" that maybe I cuold throw an error OR // maybe I should just pop up a message box OR // Is this a web application? If it is I really can pop a message box // I "guess" that really I should just throw an ugly runtime error // at the user even though this realy should be a "compile" time error.
throw new WTFError() ENDIF // Code goes here.... RETURN
In other words. It's *impossible* to write any kind of generic code without having to deal with these kinds of runtime issues. Much better code:
// Proto language static typed // This function trims a string from the 2nd param String FUNCTION trimString(String a, Number b) // code goes here.... RETURN

Server Error in '/' Application. Runtime Error Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
Yet more evidence that C# is designed by monkeys. Add as much garbage to the language as possible to attempt to appease every programmer's wank fantasy. Ultimately you'll please no-one.
BTW Still waiting for GOTO Line Numbers to be added.

This is the usual non-sequitur logic from a slashdot story... What does the ease of the install have to do with the overall feature set of the OS? You only have to install once. If you want an easy gui installer just use Windows or Mac.

Why don't they buy back dBASE and re-release dBASE III+? Yeah, that's the ticket!

Uses java byte code instead of source so it's more stable. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-317158218 7051229467

Thanks. I was going to say that too.
Have you tried the same with a .NET app? Same issue. VB6 had like a 4 meg runtime. Java's is about 16 meg. .NET is about 24 meg. You do the math.
Like I can with RoR? ;)
Then things will be more secure. :)

Sorry but IntelliJ IDEA blows it away.
(oh and it does run on linux)
It's aleady a movie!
Mod me a troll if you like but Linspire is nowhere. Just like all Linux on the desktop.
All I can say to this is: Wahhh!
