Mono is the most exciting thing I've seen all year! Thanks, Ximian!

I'd love to have an interpreter - JITs are often superfluous, at least
for the JVM. If folks are interested in this topic, this article is
interesting:
  http://www2.fit.qut.edu.au/CompSci/PLAS//ComponentPascal/VirtualMachines.ps

It makes the case that the details of typing in the CLR make an
interpreter much more difficult than in the JVM. Also has some
suggestions about how to work around it.
