Hi list, I would like to know the status of the mono project:
1) the compiler: how ready is it? I have been told that it is a windows executable which the runtime interpreters in linux, so my questions are: how good does it compile? how good does it run on windows/linux? The web site tells that the compiler work and they rewrote some optimizations , but I would like to know from experience. 2) the runtime: i know it is not still finished (windows.forms is not yet written since gtk# had just the first release), but for console programs is it good enough? for example the compiler itself? is gtk# based on gtk1 or gtk2? I guess gtk2 since c# is unicode enabled... but who knows... 3) jit: I know it is still it basicly non existing, but for x86 platform it does exist, it has not been ported to other architectures. will it reprocure a file will be executable by linux, containing the ms intermediate language which be compiled at run time, or will it reproduce a win32 executable which will be run by an external interpreter and then compiled n runtime? (for those who got lost, mono is a ximian project for writing a c sharp compiler for the linux architecture, distributed under the terms of gpl, for the windows forms they will use gtk, which has it's own c# binding by now, and they will be able to run c# binaries written for windows c# not including those who use dot.net) - diego -- Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
