Mono? Thank you, not anytime soon…
Thursday, July 24th, 2008Today, I was playing a little with .NET implementation Mono on OS X. Respectively, I was playing with Monodevelop IDE because as I do now something in Visual Basic.net at work, I was curious how can this compare to the real Visual Basic 2005. I was hoping at least to get running some parts that interact just with command line. And, well, my expectations were way too high. I didn’t do anything. I was not even able to open the files properly. The editor was not apparently able to accept the windows line encoding. Compiler threw some strange errors on things that even didn’t look they are in our code. What else to say? Do not waste people’s time with releasing software that is your toy, and actually doesn’t work. It’s not worth. You waste time of the others, and your name doesn’t gain anything.
