What a shame that they're writing interesting programs in an immediately doomed language. At least the better ideas won't be lost, and will show up again in longer-lived programs.

Note that the Mono programs mentioned: Beagle, Tomboy, F-Spot, Dashboard are all written by developers working at Novell and not Canonical.
Redhat and Novell are still the main Linux companies doing original opensource development.

He's referring to C#, which is what most of the programs mentioned in the article are written in.
