Fun fact, the Mono Linker project started 10 years ago during the second edition of the Google Summer of Code! It was originally used to reshape the entire Mono class library into a subset to expose the Silverlight class library API surface

The «immediate» experience is pretty awesome. You just open the web page and you're playing. It takes longer to download, probably the size of the engine and the assets, but I've been very much impressed with the Unity3D WebGL exp

CIL - just like the LLVM IR - if human readable, is not really meant to be written by hand, unlike Java. Not sure what you mean here.

It's pretty cool to see .NET catching up with Mono on that front ;) Fun fact, MonoTouch applications are built with a very similar pipeline, except that LLVM does the compilation in the end. The steps 4 and 5 in the blog post map quite

I've been using this since the beta. The entire code of my startup is on GitHub so it really helps to be able to monitor and triage incoming changes quickly. The app itself is still missing some things for my particular workflow: I&#x2

You can add a post build task to your csproj to run Mono's pdb2mdb, you'll have a .mdb debug symbol file that Mono can use, and you'll get line numbers in stack traces.

Thanks for the feedback Eric. As a long time fan of C# and how it evolved (started with .net beta 1), and even more so of Roslyn, I for one would be very disappointed to see C# not being considered from Microsoft as I consider it. Good luck

Huh, I'm definitely not going “all conspiracy theory” on you. And by you I guess I mean Microsoft? The perception from the outside, or let say, my perception, is that both .net and C# along (C# being the flagship language for the platform)

by jbevain 14y ago
One has to wonder if that's not related to how C# and .net are being treated as second class citizens nowadays at Microsoft. As we saw recently: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4842024 they're looking for someone to work on a C# to na

Given the very sad state of the extensibility of Visual Studio (I wrote about it earlier this year http://evain.net/blog/articles/2012/02/27/visual-studio-your... ), it turns out that not only are the Python Tools an excellent plugin to wr

Interesting move. Too bad it's US only for now. We're currently using FastSpring but both the recent opening of Braintree towards Europe and the price getting a clear 2.9% + $0.3 are making it pretty interesting. Make a similar promotion fo

Note that I'm not asking for VS to be rewritten. I actually don't think it would make a lot of sense. I'm simply asking for good bindings, well documented and respecting the expectations (API wise) of a managed programmer.

by jbevain 15y ago
Obviously I failed at conveying my point. Greatly sorry about that. I think it's mad that in 2012, it's so hard to extend Visual Studio using C# and .net. I'm not saying it drives .net developers away. I'm saying it hurts the .net platform

I hope it makes more sense if you replace this snippet in the context of the post. Visual Studio is a great IDE for the .net programmer. It's terrible as a platform for which you build managed addins/plugins.
