If you read the author's remarks in the comments there, they are 
interesting.  He would have a similar objection if OO required Perl, or 
Python, or pretty much anything else (including QT or GTK+).  He seems 
to think it should be a pure C or C++ program, using no libraries other 
than the lowest level system libraries and the lowest level X libraries.

Really?  When did Microsoft acquire boycottnovell.com and use that to 
make official statements?

Wait, they didn't.  That link is to you making your usual made-up claims 
about Mono.
