Cross-Language development on Mono
Lluis done
screencasts of the power of mono, showing its power to handle several languages at a time. It also spots some awesome features of the Mono/.NET environment on Linux:
- Interoperability across languages
- Inheritance across languages
- Cross debugging
- GTK widget building and interoperation between code components
- Boo in action
- Java working (and inter-operating) inside/with the .NET framework
This is an amazing demonstration on how strong is the free software movement, and how far we can get by supporting it. Neither Sun, Microsoft or any other company merchandising their own core technologies would ever do any effort towards such level of integration with the rival's products and technologies. That's good for the final technology consumer, who spend its limited resources and efforts, focusing on their own purposes, not core-technologies integration.
Thank you all Mono involved people, all this is Awesome!
