Why Mono
Why is WeSay trying to use mono, when the offical OLPC project is doing Python?
- c# (at least in .net framework) is normally substantially faster than Python [benchmarks].
- we can then use db4o, which looks like a real time saver. So far, we've found it to be simple, tight, and fast.
- when we have extensions, it will be possible to write them in any .Net language (c#, vb, c++, Ruby, IronPython)
- we can get started without having to learn a new IDE and new language
