I am noticing that a significant amount of open source software is
emerging
from the C# development platform. Is the runtime 'open' (free 'as in freedom'
software)? I am genuinely curious, is your current C# career in commercial
programming for client side, server side? What percentage is FOSS? The
reason for the question is that I assist others who have questions about the
current trends in program development, and I myself am very interested in the
current state of FOSS development (my own biases aside, I always am open to
learning new things).
The other thing I would like to know (all fud symantics and bias aside)
from
someone devoted to using C# for the last five years, do you think that the
perceived performance problems of C#.NET programming is due to the
experience/quality of the products themselves, or is it inherent in the (CLR)
runtime? I remember when I was doing Java some time back I loved the
language but I hated the runtime... and I didn't like JIT that much better.
What's your take?
TIA
