Fooling around with Mono and C#

July 4, 2005 hacking No Comments

I’ve been fooling around with C# some more. Microsoft sent me a copy of Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 on DVD recently, and I’ve been using Mono on Linux. I’m really interested in getting back to work on some music notation goodness, but this time using a better language. There’s no way I’m going to try to use C. That’s just stupid.

I’m totally cool with using C++, but everyone else I talk to thinks that’s completely insane. I have no interest at all in using Java, and I am wanting to avoid using something like Python as well. I don’t really know why that is. In every other language binding, GTK has really felt like just a “language binding” between C and whatever language it is. For some reason, Gtk# feels more integrated.
