Hello world – MonoDevelop
I had to try…
Positive impression so far. Just made a simple console application. Everything is lightning fast – even if I’m sitting on a 0.99 GHz ATOM CPU, 1 GB Ram and a very small hard-drive – I was amazed that it would even start – but this speed? I wouldn’t have thought it possible. Of course – things might be another story once, I start adding third-party assemblies etc.
And this package-deal with Linux… I can’t help but wonder if it isn’t the way to go… 90 MB (and that was because, I clicked a few extras) to have the full MonoDevelop application installed… good luck trying that with Visual Studio :).
Of course – I wouldn’t like to do production code with MonoDevelop (not yet anyway), but I think it’s worthwhile to check out the competition from time to time.
