Clinton: While you provided a fine run down of arguments, I believe you forgot a vital one, Mono can be optimized, we can cut down ressource consumption, we can indeed do better - we cannot however make C development as fast development in C#, nor as fun. Twice the memory consumption is as I understand it not the lowest common denominator but rather the worst case under the new garbage collector - but nobody has provided hard numbers for the highly contested ressource use yet.
Mono comes with a complete set of tools and the only reason we even have to have this debate is the excellence of the applications it enables us to ship... this is a luxury problem. The question isn't if we want to rewrite all of GNOME in C# but do we want the applications it enables us to ship or don't we. Yes, beagle sometimes eats small furry children for breakfast but we aren't debating beagle for inclusion.. yet, by the time we will being having that debate, naturally it would prudent to examine if it still displays grotesk ressource abuse and if we can fix it. We are specifically talking about Tomboy this time around. - David Nielsen _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
