The Future of Moonlight
,----[ Quote ]
| Miguel de Icaza has spoken on The Future of
| Moonlight, and it is revealing.
|
| We could use Silverlight to build the
| next wave of cross-platform desktop
| applications.
|
| Really? We can use closed-source
| Silverlight to build cross-platform desktop
| applications? Iâve often said that a
| significant side effect of all the Team
| Mono propaganda is promoting Microsoft, and
| statements like this are exactly what I
| mean.
|
| Here we have a clear endorsement for a
| closed-source, proprietary Microsoft
| technology with whom only Novell has any
| sort of âcovenantâ as the future for cross-
| platform development. In what FLOSS circles
| is that an acceptable proposal?
|
| [...]
|
| This also touches on the point I make that
| Team Mono / Moonlight is making no great
| strides for Linux. They spend a ton of
| effort on iPhone, Unity engine, and now PS3
| and Wii? You might recall a long-winded
| apologetic where the argument on how
| beneficial Mono would be to Linux was the
| major selling point. Somewhere along the
| line that whole argument got shifted to how
| beneficial Mono would be to .NET
| developers.
