Yes. Mono doesn't care about language, it cares about IL, so any compiler that generates IL can generate assemblies that will execute under Mono. So the only real questions are: 1. What language do you want to use? 2. Does that language have a compiler that runs on Linux? If your language's compiler doesn't run on Linux, you can instead compile your code on Windows and copy the resulting assemblies to Linux (though care does need to be taken to ensure that you only use types/methods that Mono has implemented; MoMA[0] can help in this). For example, C++/CLI on Windows with the /clr:safe flag should produce assemblies that Mono will execute. An incomplete list of languages that work under Linux: - C# - VB.NET (through vbnc) - Boo - Nemerle - IronPython - IronRuby - F# - Jon [0] http://www.mono-project.com/Moma _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
