IMHO opinion there is no interest to have Mono running properly on
FreeBSD from either side. Original mono developers are even proud to
say they don't care about having it run on *BSD,
Do you have reference to such thing ? list archive ? I think it might be
right in the past, the teams might have changed, and the mindset might
have changed, and ultimately, does it matter ?
Actually checking mono project page now (after very long time), I might
be wrong - FreeBSD apparently is listed now among supported platforms
http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/supported-platforms/ (that
wasn't the case before, but I don't have any experience running more
recent version of mono, latest I tried was the one I created patch for
FileSystemWatcher since that was always broken on FreeBSD and ASP.Net
was pain to run without it)
Sounds really good :) Do you have an idea of the amount of lines / hours
to do such thing ? I keep all that in mind ! I keep probing and will
come back to you. Many thanks for proposing this.
If you have time/energy to spend trying to push those changes upstream
to main mono or to keep them with port here are patches I wrote:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198727

Feel free to use this source any way you want :-)
C# have many serious advantages such as linq, tasks, GC, the VM and many
things of a modern object oriented language. To me it's one of the most
pleasant language to work with, as a programmer. Then yes, the ecosystem
matters first.
For me single benefit from C# is .Net library which is really huge and
well designed, so it allows rapid development, other than that I prefer
deterministic memory management you have in C++ since C++11
(unfortunately C++ has STL which in its older parts is designed around
active data structures idiom, making it not that pleasant to use). I
also completely dislike idea of VM on server side, but I guess that is
just me :-)
Kind regards,
Ivan
