Mono? Please...we have some software written in C#, look at Banshee, GNOME 
Do/Docky, and it's slow, jammy and poorly contributed. C# hase a huge runtime, 
and so does Mono, if not worse. And C is far too low level for a good API of 
the kind we need. I think we should go on C++, it's the only way to save 
performance and coherence.
