I´m not saying "hey, let´s re-code Gnome in Java". No. What I´m saying is that if someone is pushing for Gnome to become infected with Mono, it´s a way better choice to make it depend on the GPL´ed OpenJDK rather than .Net which is a Microsoft controlled platform. In other words, that given a choice between OpenJDK and Mono, that Java is the lesser evil. Anyway... I just hope that with the recent death of Moonlight (the SIlverlight clone) http://www.linuxdevelopernews.com/linuxdevelopernews-81-20120601MoonlightDiscontinued.html ...and the firing of Mono devs from Attachmate after Novell let it go http://lxnews.org/2011/05/06/attachmate-kills-off-mono/ ...that this will soon be a problem we don´t have to worry about. :-P Yet, it worries me that Microsoft might feel inclined to fund the Gnome Mono infection directly instead of using proxies as they did in the past...
