That's a circular argument.

You're saying that since Mono isn't mature, it isn't good for anything but prototyping. And since it's only good for prototyping, why should it be made mature?

The answer is of course that *if* Mono should become stable and mature it would be good for other things than prototyping. And since it would then be good for other things than prototyping it would need to be stable and mature :-).

As is explained on "http://www.go-mono.com/languages.html", your definition of a "real" language would have to be quite uncommon to be able to find a language that couldn't potentially be run by Mono.
