Response to: Why not Java

Thanks for bringing out that distinction. In your comment you mention multi-national, however I referred to international. To illustrate the difference consider the following questions:
  • Have you ever worked for a foreign government?

  • Have you ever developed an application for a foregin company in any of these countries: China, India, the Czech Republic, Brazil, or Maylasia?
  • Have you ever been involved with applications affected by international trade agreements?

  • Have you considered what might happen if, for crazy reasons never before seen, Sun stopped enhacing Java or licensing for free?

Also one last question, please review this article and identify where I suggest that Mono will push Java out of the way?

    Are you joking? :) How can you put Czech Republic in the middle of the other countries? Do you think the level of programmers is same in these countries? :) Or they have just different language than yours :-P Maybe South Arabia should be also with Czech Republic...

    By stopping to license Java for free or stopping to enhance it, Sun would kill itself!

    P.S.: China, India, the Czech Republic, Brazil, or Maylasia. You are comparing Czech republic to China, India, Brazil and Malaysia? Are you joking?! Grrrrr

    Czech Republic? Ahem, I am from Czech Republic.

    I think that C# is not much "loved" here, because it's just Microsoft's thing... :D

    And Java just looks more professional :D. Too many dummies are using C# here - just compare some Java and C# public forums.

    When I would have to develop some multi-platform application and I couldn't use C++ & GTKmm, I would choose Java rather then C#... Java for Linux is developed by it's creator - Sun - but MONO is not developed by Microsoft. So it's just a bigger risc to use it.
