I wasn't referencing Mono for Android, although that is a neat product. About a year ago, Xamarin did a direct port of the entire Android operating system to C# as a research project to improve their automated tooling. It's called [XobotOS](https://github.com/xamarin/XobotOS https://github.com/xamarin/XobotOS). It's open source, unmaintained, and entirely unsupported.

I remember XobotOS. I was kind of excited about it, but then nothing happened with it after they made a press announcement. I had some questions about it when they still had comments posted on their blog. They decided to remove the comments shortly after without answering any of them, not sure why. Can't remember what my questions were now, but I think something related to building it. I was hoping to mess around with it and make some sort of compatibility layer for dalvik based apps to run on it and everything else to use C# that I or anyone else might do (I mod AOSP and such in my spare time). Too bad it Xamarin has not done anything with it since the announcement, as dalvik is the bane of performance on Android.
