Plus the GNU guys have been building a C# compiler
that compiles to native code and targets native libraries (instead of a .NET [or
compatible] runtime). So one could use it instead of C++ I suppose on
Unix

Yeah, Neil is 100% right.
FWIW, I'm using Scite as my editor, and lescript as my build tool.
Scite: http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html
lescript: http://manageddreams.com/utils/lescriptmar9.zip
Lescript lets you use C# as though it is a scripting language, ie you can do:
C:\> lescript --nol
That it costs anything is a common misconception:
The Microsoft C# compiler comes for free with Windows.
You can download the Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions for free for a year.
You can download other integrated development enviroments for free (such as SharpDevelop)
You can build C# in Mono
The problem is that as far as I know, C# isn't anywhere near as portable as python, nor is it anywhere near as open. There are many free python development applications, whereas to write C# requires £300 worth of software.

Hmmm,
After playing around a little with C#, I have to agree with Neil: C# rocks.
Just to throw some salt in the wounds of the Python discussions, I cant help thinking that C# has all the advantages of both Python (run from source, easy to read) and C++ (strong typing, runs quickly).
Btw, OSM

Uh... I don't think so. The only large-scale change I did (which was a
while ago) was to introduce empty virtual destructors in all the pure
abstract interface classes, so that gcc4 wouldn't complain. But I don't
see how that would confuse SWIG..
Thanks Hugh, that helps a lot. I was confused because it seemed to happen all
of a sudden without too many changes in VOS, and the problem affects almost all
of the Python classes. One additional thing I noticed is that this doesn't
affect the *Ptr classes, e.g. Vobject class has the raise in __
Not all objects can be constructed, for example anything pure virtual
Swig attempts to detect which objects can and cant be constructed. Sometimes it gets it wrong
One way in which it gets wrong are where you instantiate a method in a
derived class that was pure virtual in the base class. If the
> Anyway I can't possibly agree with Hugh's statement about C# being the same as VB! It's much closer to C++/Java
Well, partly it's to be controversial :-) but I cant help
thinking that C# is a genius marketing from Microsoft for Visual
Basic. VB has generally been an excellent language for bus
Yep, not had much practise with managed C++ as I'm lazy and C# is so much easier (!), but I guess managed C++ could be the way to go for integrating with VOS as it can fully utilise the C++ classes.
Still there'd be work required to make the API more ".net like"

At work we have a large application that incorporates Managed and
Unmanaged C++, C# and several COM objects. .Net/CLR does a pretty good
job of tying it all together without too much fuss (except for the COM

Hi
Well finally something I feel qualified to comment on!
I'm not sure about C++ functions, but you can definitely call C functions which are exposed in DLLs using P/Invoke in .NET. It's very simple - you just create a bunch of .NET functions which match the C function signatures, then you can

What Peter said. I think. It's been a while :-)
Random aside: I've been playing with .Net at work; it's kindof cool,
though it's basically VB with a C++ syntactic sugar. I dunno why
people claim that C# means the end of VB, since C# basically *is*
VB. It's still pretty cool though :-)

Welcome back, Reed :-)
I haven't touched it for a 2-3 months, but when Hugh Perkins and I were
working on it we had wrapped most of the core API and were working on
wrapping the Property metaobject. I think the most important thing that
needs to
