Everyone says it''s on the "fast-track" to becoming an ISO standard - what does that mean? Is there a slow-track to ISO standardization? How long does the fast-track take?

---

It was submitted to the ECMA first and ISO usually takes less time to accept a standard which the ECMA already recognises. I don''t know the exact time frames, but I''d say it would only be a couple of months...

If I had my way, I''d have all of you shot!

What is so good about C#?

I have heard about it some, but really what makes it so good for games?

I think C++ is best for game programming currently, but I hate using delete!! Using delete and doing all kind of that low level stuff is simply waste of programming time.

So C# sounds ideal. It''s so similar to C++ (what I know) and has garbage collection and can be compiled to executable.
If I was Windows-only person, then I''d use C# with DirectX. There''s actually C# binding for OpenGL (google csgl). I have''n tried, does it work with Linux too?

No, but I remember reading about someone else writing OGL bindings for Mono.

I did my first linux C# hello world.
I needed to run mcs with the interpreter mint /usr/bin/mcs hello.cs.
And the result is hello.exe and I can run it with mint hello.exe
Weird to say, weird.

IIRC you use the mono command, which doesn''t use an interpreter, rather a JIT.

So you''d go mono hello.exe

Thank you, works too.

I just wonder, why it is named hello.exe, it is not exe-file?

Why can''t I compile files without public static void Main()?
Does this mean that I have to compile all .cs files every time?
Cant I use precompiled files (libraries)?

The .exe extension doesn''t mean anything on linux, and they are only using it to maintain compatibility with Microsoft''s implementation.

If mcs uses the same switches as csc, you can use the /target:library or -target:library switch to generate a dll:

mcs /target:library Foo.cs Bar.cs Baz.cs

A dll does not require an entry point.
