[Mono-list] On porting to C#

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello guys,

   Sam brings up an interesting point: why port existing software from
Java to C#?  Given that the CLR is supposed to be language neutral, it
makes sense to make sure that Java byte codes can be executed in the
CLR.

   The only issue I see is that Java programs will expect a set of
class libraries to be available for them to use, and this might not be
the case for the CLR.  What approach do you suggest we should use Sam?

Miguel.
