It'll be safe to add DotGNU into each of those sentences. In this area, we're building the same kinds of things that Mono is also building. > we *are* doing something like what parts of DotGNU are doing. I think that this is not accurate. You're doing something that DotGNU is very interested in, but that we're not building ourselves, but rather we're waiting for Parrot. > If you want to give us a paragraph or so about why DotGNU is > or isn't like Parrot, I'm sure Bryan or Ziggy could put that > in the FAQ too. :) How about this: DotGNU and Parrot ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unlike .NET and Mono, the DotGNU project http://www.dotgnu.org wants to support multiple bytecode formats. The various virtual machines and JIT compilers are implemented as plugins for SEE, the "Secure Execution Environment" daemon. There is significant interest in a Parrot plugin for SEE, so that Perl (and other languages that can be compiled to Parrot) can be used for implementing DotGNU webservices. ?
