But .net/C# is registered as a standard. So that means it's a standard,
period, not just a Microsoft standard. I don't believe there's a threat
to kill Mono-project off... at least no more than Trolltech is a threat
to kill Qt Free Edition off. Plus, Mono will work with a number of
languages, such as Java and Ruby, if I'm not mistaken. Right now,
www.mono-project.com isn't working, so I can't access it. I give the
thumbs-up to Mono-project, because it also works with Ruby, I believe,
and Ruby looks like an interesting O-O language. The thing that's neat
about Ruby is that everything is an object, even constants.
True, I haven't tried it yet, but I think it looks worthwhile. I'd like
to also see browser plugins. Java is a nice language to work with, but
Java is still... Java.
