[Mono-list] JVM performance: JVM as a basis for CLR

[Jay Freeman (saurik)]

Tom:

To make the point, Arun Sharma <bayarea_techie@yahoo.com> recently wrote a
patch to port ORP to POSIX, so it should be able to run on a myriad of
different systems at that point.  He is going to do a little more testing of
it on the various BSD implementations and then contribute it back to Intel.
Or by "retarget" do you mean not to another OS but to another
architecture... in that case I don't see how you gain any benefit from a C#
implementation over a C++ or a C implementation...

Sincerely,
