Hello. May I ask what is with all the push for C# apps in GNOME?
The main beauty of GNOME is that it is slick and unbloated. Do we really need to throw a virtual machine in it? If we really want to develop code in object oriented language, with all the fancy syntactic sugar, garbage collection etc. can't we just use D to achieve it? http://www.digitalmars.com/d/ It has all the cool features of modern languages (like C# or Java): C like syntax, OOP, nice templating, closures, garbage collected memory management, dynamic and hashed arrays, real strings, inline assembly, exceptions, unit tests, direct interface to C, unicode support ... and many, many more, ... with the advantage of producing real ELF objects, that can be linked with any other objects .archives or .so dynamic libraries (using standard GCC linker) to produce little, cute binaries that can be run on REAL hardware, without the need of virtual machine. -- Tomasz Sterna Xiaoka Grp. http://www.xiaoka.com/ _______________________________________________ gnome-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-devel-list
