It depends what you call "platform" :-) If it's the GNOME Developer Platform, it is my understanding that there's a consensus we want to keep the platform in C. To me, it's already a first-class language and environment for GNOME since it's we ship GTK# in the bindings and it's allowed to have a GTK#-based in the Desktop suite. The main issue here is that each time a mono-based app is proposed, there are comments only made on the fact that it's mono-based. Also, quite often, there are comments for python apps because it's slow, memory-hungry, etc. I admit I might be oversimplifying the problem, but my point is that for many people, it has become a non-problem. (oh, and I don't think I'd want to hack in Mono, if anybody think I'm completely biased on this -- so far, I'm a C/python guy) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
