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.

Surely Ximian would have looked at possible patent issues before they started pushing development of mono? Before I support or even look at mono I would like to find out whether there really is an issue here. Imagine if a huge application (comparable to today's mozilla or gimp) was written in mono and then made unusable due to microsoft making a move. It would be pretty bad, and a re-write of such a program in a different language would hold the project back for quite some time before getting back to it's previous state.
Has a python compiler ever been discussed? That would provide quite a speed boost and be a fairly easy development platform.
