In any case, there will be an interop question to answer here. I think we can assume .net will always be x number of features ahead of mono.
Being a .net developer by day, interop with .net would be more important for me. I'd love for ironruby to be able to support all of my .net artifacts no matter when we upgrade. I'm sure plenty of people in the list will think mono support is more important to them. I'm wondering how possible it will be to support both scenarios by mixing in the different language constructs when needed. I realize the interop stories haven't been given much thought yet, but the earlier this dialog is started the better off the implementers will be when its time to hit the road.
