[Mono-list] C++/CLI

[Rob.Tillie@Student.tUL.EDU]

Well, they surely have improved over the __GC thing... but yes, still ugly
:|

I believe the main advantage of managed c++ is that you can mix managed /
unmanaged code in a class, therefore making it a good language for interop
tasks...
But this is going to be a pain in the ass to implement... a pain in time at
least.
