MonoDevelop 2.2 Beta 1 and the TRUTH

We are not religious when it comes to supporting other programming languages [1]. We want to embrace not only .NET-based projects like Gtk#, Silverlight, ASP.NET, Boo, C#, F#, Visual Basic and Windows.Forms. We are also embracing other developer platforms like Python, C/C++, Vala, and we want to expand our presence to work with the Flash, PHP, Ruby, Rails, Flex and any other communities that need a cross platform IDE.
[1] we are just religious about the fact that C# is a better programming language to build an IDE than Java is.

There you have it, kids.

tl;dr

Java is shit and so is Eclipse and Netbeans.

The whole Gnome API is OOP from the ground up, and written in C. So, when making a new Gnome language for example, Vala you're pretty much doomed to fucking around with OOP bullshit.

But I agree, it would be really nice to see new languages that don't have this enterprise OO (or academic FP) shit smeared all over them.
