We're running C# code, and increasingly some F#, but not at all interested in taking desktop or web applications from Windows and dropping them onto Macs or Linux.
We're historically a microsoft shop but recently (in the last 18 months or so) have started running linux backend servers for many of our services running on EC2. If I wanted to be buzzword compliant I'm sure I could come up with some string of cloud nonsense to describe it.
We have something that looks kinda like Hadoop crossed with an app server that we can deploy components in.
I'd be happier with a solid final version of Mono.Simd rather than slavishly filling in any missing parts of older .net.
- jasonkester 17y agoSounds like we're doing similar stuff. The code I'd like to run under Mono is neither ASP.NET nor WinForms. It's plain vanilla string processing and HttpRequesting with some minor crypto and SSL thrown in to use AWS. That's the stuff I'd expect to be there and it's not.
- migueldeicaza 17y agoCare to detail exactly what is missing? And if you do not know what is missing, download our tool, and it will do the work for you: www.mono-project.com/Moma
- jasonkester 17y agoThat's the fun part. The tool says everything is good to go. That's partially why I felt so burned by it, having assurances that everything I was doing was implemented. Running the code, it doesn't even thow. It just quietly exits. After a few weeks running into issues like that, I just quietly exited myself. Windows EC2 boxes are only 25% more expensive than Linux ones, and they run .NET natively and correctly, so my particular problem is solved.
