C# the language itself is quite nice, probably one of the best mainstream languages out there. I don't really care tho if it would run on the JVM or native (or something else) instead of the CLR.
Right now tho probably the only popular use of non-ms .net (mono) is Unity (which is btw a pretty big deal in the games industry).
- fijal 14y agoI find it somehow sarcastic that as you say "the only popular use of mono" is a platform that does not support linux.
- gebe 14y agoIt's in the pipeline though for Unity 4 which will be out soon (I think there is already a preview available).
- ryankask 14y agoThey are adding Linux publishing but according to this post (http://blogs.unity3d.com/2012/07/03/linux-publishing-preview-what-how-and-wherefore-3/#comment-42961 http://blogs.unity3d.com/2012/07/03/linux-publishing-preview...), the editor won't be available for Linux. Still though, this means that Mono is being used with Unity on Linux. Unfortunately not the development part.
- fijal 14y agothanks that's actually cool news. Last time I checked (half a year ago or more) I couldn't find a single hint about that.
- CodeCube 14y agoThis is the real story here. C#, as a language is fantastic, especially with the most recent versions which have added things like the Task Parallel Library, dynamic keyword, and the new async/await stuff. It's very easy to write a great performing app with C#.
