Mono Project Unix was originally all about not being... Multics. If Mono is to follow a similar nomenclature (just for the kicks), we have to talk about Mono's upcoming 'monopolization' and 'monarchy' in the next generation of the Unix programming land. Your see, if everything goes well, in 2 to 3 years most new Gnome user/desktop applications will be written --hopefully-- in Mono and C#. Update: Miguel deIcaza replies.

Java, SWT ready today
by Anonymous on Wed 21st Jan 2004 11:41 UTC

I have a problem understanding why C# and GTK# is getting so much attention. Here we have SWT (for those of you that do not like swing and want closer integration to gnome) running under linux with native mappings to GTK libs. As an added bonus you can use the same SWT lib to deploy your app on windows and os x, without any code changes. You also get a top draw Eclipse IDE.

Since we have this today with java could someone please explain what advantage I would get from using GTK#.
