[Mono-list] Cross platform development: VB.NET or C#

[Simon Waite]

I would guess that writing it in C# would be "better" as I am not aware
of any VB compilers or any runtime support under mono. I belive someone
may be working on it though. (I think I read this in the FAQ or in the
mailing list archive)

Regards

Simon
