Maybe the Mono project is more nimble because of the very limited number of applications running on it? Especially compared to the JVM.

- grav1tas 16y agoThat or its creators aren't concerned with the applications running on it as much as the maintainers of the JVM are. Sometimes I think open source projects can have an advantage in this respect. If they're not financially bound to their customers when it comes to what the product actually does, they can focus more on their vision of the product is, and not what the customers/users whine and gripe about. Moreover if the users are whining and griping about some feature not being present or not well implemented, they can put forth the resources to implement it themselves...now I'm just repeating the FOSS talking points. Regardless, I think I agree that Mono is nimble because its user base is still relatively small or not large, but I think there are also other contributing factors.
