So, nobody should learn a language unless it's the "default language" for a platform? What is Python, Ruby or PHP the default language of? Should anybody be learning Perl, Haskell or Objective-C in your opinion?
- benologist 14y agoI'm not saying nobody should but I bet a shitload more people go with natively supported, which might be a better term than default. And yeah this isn't at all specific to C#. Anything not natively supported suffers - just ask Flash who in a handful of years have gone from a defacto standard to a dinosaur.

If you can make gorgeous, fluid and speedy native apps with Mono and C# (which is very much possible) while at the same time making it easier to do cross platform development and deployment then why not.
