Mono Ships ASP.NET server

Miguel de Icaza writes "We have just released the new version of Mono the new version includes a working version of ASP.NET. The release includes a sample web server that "hosts" the ASP.NET runtime (it can be hosted anywhere, for instance in Apache, with mod_haydn). The web features of ASP.NET would not be very useful without the support of a backing database. The new version of Mono includes database providers for Oracle, MS SQL, Sybase, ODBC, OleDB, Gnome Data Access, SqLite, MySQL and of course, Postgres. The C# compiler is now 37% faster due to some nice optimizations on the JIT engine and in our class libraries. You can use it to develop GUI applications using Gtk#. Screenshots for mPhoto and the GUI debugger (which can debug both JITed apps and native applications). "

ASPs -- very dangerous. You go first. [imdb.com]

ASP.NET or PHP

[Anonymous Coward]

what good is ASP or ASP.NET if we already have PHP you might ask. Well, firstly, ASP is a Microsoft product. If you don't know, Microsoft is a reputable software company that has been in business since 1975. PHP is just some silly freeware ASP clone hosted by a buch of computer geeks and hackers on some obscure website. Clearly a product from a major player in the software industry will be a better product.

You reminded me of a cartoon I saw in Car&Driver years ago. It had an image of a screaming woman going over a cliff in a car, with the caption "Definition of Mixed Feelings: Watching your mother-in-law go over a cliff in your new Ferrari." Watching Mono develop is the geek equivalent.

It almost seems like blasphemy [go-mono.com] to be able to compile and run Visual Basic in a linux environment. Yikes! What is this interoperable world coming to? What next, a paperclip for emacs? ;)

Well, not for emacs, but you can have a paperclip for vi:

I don't know why, but after viewing the screenshots, I have the urge to conquer all the world by force and declare myself Emperor.

Wait, no, I've got it. I actually feel like McDonald's. Damn, too bad it's 4 am.

Does mono ship with a VD-compiler ?

Paperclip ALREADY in Emacs...

[MosesJones]

Do you really think that an editor that includes the mayan calendar by default wouldn't ALREADY have had clippy created.

Of course in Emacs he is called Pinhead and is much more helpful.
