C# .net

<< < (5/5)

Pathos:
I don't think you will find many developers for this...it really seems like a waste of time.  I don't think you need to build a new language to hijack the .Net framework. The language D cleans up C++ and C# already.

Microsoft has control because OSS don't care because you're average OSS professional programmer prefers C/ C++ and doesn't have to put up with mircosofts shit api's. The reason they are so shit is because win95 was built when MS didn't know about C++ and OO programming. They have been adding more C++ into their new libraries as they go and made a bit of a hash of it.

on the other hand from my limited knowledge the linux ones are all C and consistently structured.

I can understand if you're doing this for intellectural investigation but to say you're targeting the microsoft .Net to wrestle MS's control over is just ....

It may be a slight waste of time, but D doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Besides, MS has control of the OS market (right now, at least). If you want your software to be used except by the fringe, it needs to support Winshit. The way to go is to support Win32 and Linux, so switching is easier. Theta theoretically will compile the same source on every platform. Hopefully it will do better at that than C++.

Anyways, Theta now has a website/host/whatever at sourceforge as theta-language.

Pathos:
C++ compiles perfectly on both platforms.

Its not the language but the API's that have to be multiplatform. And you can make good multiplatform programs with C++: the gimp, firefox, gaim etc

So um how is theta supposed to use the .NET api? are you going to rewrite it for linux? Use the mono project?

Master of Reality:
i think he just wants to copy .NET CLR (and use his own language copied from C++/C#/Java)... which is copied from Java JRE.... so its going to be a copy of a copy?

This didnt really mean to sound so condescending, but there is already the mono implementation of the .NET framework, there is already Java for multiplatform support.

_kill__bill:
It uses something like the .NET platform, not the actual Microsoft system.

Yes, C++ compiles perfectly on everything. It's the API's that are screwed beyond belief.
