But doesn't it really SUCK for developers that they have to learn three different XML parsers? Similarly, wouldn't it really SUCK for the Gnome project as a whole if each and every component was implemented in a different language? I very much like Python and have never used Mono/C#. But I would very much rather see Mono/C# (or Java.. yuck!) chosen as THE managed language to use in the Gnome platform than have to deal with two or more managed languages and their class libraries. -- mvh Björn _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
