Will Mono Become the Preferred Platform for Linux Development? (O'ReillyNet)Will Mono Become the Preferred Platform for Linux Development? (O'ReillyNet)Posted Mar 13, 2004 12:25 UTC (Sat) by salsaman (guest, #3671)Parent article: Will Mono Become the Preferred Platform for Linux Development? (O'ReillyNet) As a Linux developer, I see no need at all to use mono. The tools I have already are adequate for my needs. If I want to write something for speed, I use C. For cross platform apps, there is Java or Python. This standard is used under a "Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory License". In other words, Microsoft can start charging for it at any time. So why should I use a language that offers no real advantage, and which I could be asked to pay for at any time ? Because it has a 'nice IDE' ? Get real. Does anyone really think that a company which supports and funds SCO could really be doing this out of kindness to Linux developers ?
