I (and every objector for that matter) was right about mono all this time.
You are better off coding in C which is more widely supported.
If you code in mono .NIT crap, you are helping micoshaft - and they are
desperate for that free help because with that help they plan the lock in
- easy way -> the CLI is proprietory, you write code for mono and .NIT, you
help write code for proprietory CLI. CLI, the engine that interprets
the code is proprietory - so all the while you write your code you are
contributing to micoshaft. At the same time, your own projects run
slower because you need the CLI to work better - but its not better
than C, python, Gambas or any of the other Linux and open sourced
and supported programming languages out there.
C is your best friend because it runs on more platforms than any other
languages.
