  • Garbage collection facilities.
  • A pretty big class library.
  • A compiler for C#.
  • A just in time compiler or virtual execution engine and a precompiler.

Thanks, that was really informative :)

On the lack of Darwin developers thing... wouldn't it make more sense to develop Linux/PPC first? I mean, the only difference (I'd guess!) is the processor itself, so that should be a lot easier to implement. I know the linux/ppc community is much smaller than the os x+darwin community, but maybe the the linux/ppc group would be more active?

Just an idea. Regardless of that, it's all good. I'm looking forward to the more unified development platform Mono will provide. Thanks again :)
