Mmm, I'm not sure if this is a particularly valid point, given I don't
know how easy of a job the Mono people have. Still, Mono exists
(although it only supports upto and including .NET 2.0)
I've heard lots of bad things about the _modern_ state of Mono - slow, compat issues with modern .NET apps, etc.
BTW - this is one more _clone_ - a clone of .NET. Why the community cannot develop the real competitor for Java and .NET?
Perl, Python, Ocaml -- all managed languages.
Why the commercial proprietary company of Sun developed Java, and commercial proprietary company of MS first developed the Java implementation better then Sun's, and then, after the Sun came offended and a lawsuit occured - the well-competing .NET? Why open source can hardly do the _really new_ things, instead cloning the successful commercial titles and posing themselves as messiahs of the new age?
Umm, no, Microsoft refused to implement the new features in standard Java, encouraging developers to use their versions instead (wfc vs swing?), and in so doing broke the terms of the license from Sun.
