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.

Hello,
I found this article very interesting (as I do many OSNews articles). I have noticed that a number of people are now questioning wether the benefits of C and C++ really outweight their disadvantages (insecure, difficult to maintain code). That is not to bash C - it made UNIX! I think it is just a sign of the times.
I would suggest that Ada is another great language that could be integrated into mono/the CLR platform. It is fully Object-Oriented and has been painstakingly designed to promote good programming practices and reliable and secure code. It can also now be compiled to Java bytecode so I belive it would be a great addition to the mono family of languages.
Ada has historically been a language for embedded systems but with the advent of its GTK+ and GNOME bindings and an excellent Free compiler and IDE (GPS - the GNAT Programming System) it is proving its work as a general applications language.
Well I'll let you start flaming me now... :-)
best regards,
