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 …

Thanks! Looking forward to reading the next posts in the series!

If that's a subject you find interesting, you can also read the source for two OSS .NET decompilers: ILSpy: https://github.com/icsharpcode/ilspy JustDecompile: https://github.com/t…

It requires the Unity WebPlayer, unfortunately not available on Linux: https://unity3d.com/webplayer

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 b…

Unity runs on a custom Mono 2.6.5 with some fixes cherry picked from Mono 2.10.

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 i…

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 stil…

It was “A guy called Vasili Arkhipov saved the world”, a quote from a former NSA director, taken from the first paragraph of the article.

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…

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…

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…

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 t…

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 a…

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 expect…
