Mono-lithic

ONLamp is running an excellent milestone summary of Mono, the open-source initiative to bring the .Net framework to Linux. Very ambitious project and evidently very on track to succeed:

So why implement the Microsoft APIs at all? Simple: to make migration from Windows to Linux as easy as possible. With the advent of Microsoft’s Longhorn platform, there’s only a limited life span for the current .NET Windows APIs. Just in case there remain some unconverted by then, de Icaza is hedging his bets and plans to provide implementation of Longhorn technologies such as Indigo and Avalon, the new XML web services and user interface layers.

From conversations with some of the early adopters at the meeting, it’s plain that the Windows migration strategy is working. Developers were able to take their ASP.NET web applications and run them under Mono, after a little accounting for a few pieces of non-portable code.
