Would you ask the same question of the Mono team? Just as an example of
why someone might want to do it...
Well, actually I would. In my individual and perhaps extreme minority
opinion, Mono is and always will be lame. It'll always be at least one step
behind where MS is taking DotNet, usually more, no matter how energetic and
dedicated the implementors are. I have no doubt that Miguel de Acaza is a
real smart guy (is he still involved?), and I further have no doubt that the
contributors have been enjoying the challenges of reverse-engineering all
MS's DotNet stuff and have probably learned a lot about compilers and
runtime library development and so forth.
But still. How depressing it would become in the long run, to be constantly
reacting to what someone else does, instead of building something new.You
know, DotNet was in the labs at MS for years before it ever saw the light of
day, and they've got an enormous budget for that sort of stuff. I don't know
for sure, and I'm not so interested in it as to try to follow the Mono
blogs, but I'd bet that there's a lot of burnout in the people who are doing
this.
So yeah. I would ask the same question of the Mono team.
