Apple's take on Mono? Re: [Mono-osx] OSX Reality Check

[Adhamh Findlay]

Does Apple have a public stance on ANY development language other than
Obj-C?  In case you wonder about Java, read this page and search for
"important"

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/LanguageIntegratio
n/index.html

Apple's not going to discourage other languages from running on OS X, but
people thinking that Apple's is going to endorse Mono/Java/Cobol/Ruby/You
Favorit Pet Language should not hold their breath.

As for the linux comment, I suggest you put the crack pipe down.  :-)  If OS
X was ever going to be linux based then it would have release on linux from
the get go.
