XCode meets Mono

Feb 21st

And… seems to be a nice meeting.
After a lot of development, the comunity surrounding the project realeases last stable version 1.2.3.1 of Mono.

What about Mac OS X? Here is a dedicated page on the official wiki of Mono. And, in particular, I’m happy to highlight a tutorial/howto about XCode and Mono integration: CSharpPlugin.

I know that Mono is the open-source implementation of .Net (started by Novell), and that I hate M$, but… I can’t hate a framework. It’s like to hate the Plutonium because we make the Atomic_Bomb with it!

Besides:

I have had a little experience with Mono (a Gecko# and GTK# based browser)… and it was very good. In particular, I like delegates very much.
.Net and C# specification are standardized at the ECMA: it’s one of the few times that M$ does things in the right way.

Soon you may be able to execute Gnome/Gtk+ based programs ~~NATIVELLY~~ NATIVELY on Quartz without the X11 Emulation.
Someone (thanks to exist) is working on the porting.

It may be the incipit of a new era for Open Source software on MacOSX. Take a look at this.

One of the most interesting characteristics of Gnome-oriented applications is the coherence between the HIG (Human Interface Guidelines) of Gnome and MacOSX.
