Supporting .net would give you access to the most modern and
probably best-currently-supported Windows API. It would, if you
counted Mono, add a very nice cross-platform UI framework. Finally,
depending on what version was supported, it might enable you to
write Silverlight apps in D, permitting flash-like apps that run
cross-functionally in a web browser.
Cross-platform UI framework? You're talking about GTK#, right?
I think you forgot a smiley :-)
But on the off-chance you're serious... I meant WinForms (or, as of
.Net 3, WPF, which -- on pain of getting lynched in this newsgroup --
is the most powerful and flexible UI framework I've ever seen).
He he.... Thankfully, it takes much more than that to get lynched in this
newsgroup (sometimes). Even so, you're sure to have a least a few people
come to your rescue before the deed could be done. There's enough diversity
in here to guarantee that, even if it's not always popular to applaud MS
technologies. ;)
Anyway, for those of us who are unfamiliar with WinForms, the question would
be whether or not WinForms works on Mono. A quick google seems to indicate
that WinForms is, at least, partially implemented on Mono.
