Agree mono is now dead.
Gnome was, as I understand it, on the verge of incorporating Mono to
get a
nicer programming environment. Gnome with an embedded JVM, given that
Java
is no longer a slouch, would would be better than Mono, imho.
This also is interesting for Virtualisation -- because an unfettered JVM
running directly on Xen could give POSIX a run for its money in the
fullness
of time.
not sure, I think vert and JVM lines will blur very quickly and the on
platforms where
posix is making massive strides, the JVM will be able to get to these
advances in the years
to come. I expect the first step might be a JVM run as a DomU in the
near future.
