Mono was created by Miguel de Icaza, a Mexican (Now Mexican-American) programmer. Microsoft had nothing to do with it. Novell purchased it. Eventually Microsoft warmed up to it. Miguel de Icaza now works at Microsoft.
- tracker1 6y agoMono was an implementation of the CLI ... the "Design" of the language, and CLI were absolutely designed to be cross-platform.
- okareaman 6y agoYou've gone from saying "C# and .Net (CLR) were absolutely written/meant to be portable" to "CLI was absolutely designed to be cross-platform." I feel you are not arguing in the spirit of my assertion that "C# was never intended to run everywhere" Sure, it was designed cross-platform so it would run on Dos/Windows ME and Windows NT.
