Hi Me and some friends of mine decided to see how many programming languages and frameworks you could use in a single program. We ended up with about 20, including Java with OpenJDK, Visual Basic with Mono, Scheme, and even COBOL. We made a demo with it, here's a link to video and further info: http://bit.ly/dBwiOM
An interesting thing about Mono is that it is the only major framework that did not have a crashing bug in it. JVM crashes randomly. Guile crashes on some machines (and gives a couple of dozen Valgrind errors in its init function). V8 chokes on (I think) large static arrays. Python needs some deep linker magic to work. GNU Octave just plain does not work at all. Linking optimized Ocaml dynamically doesn't work. And so on and so on. Personally I was surprised that garbage collectors and frameworks can survive without stepping on each others' toes. Thanks to all you hackers for creating a nicely isolatable systems. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
