    .Net sucks, compared to mono. The compiler is slower, filesize after optimization is still higher and the character set in cli is far more limited when I compile an app with .Net.

      Are those the most important factors for a framework? Or in the top 5?

      … and execution speed is faster. And they’re both open source. I mean, good thing we have choices, right?

      Source? I’d like to see some modern numbers about those compile times. Hasn’t been my experience at all.

        It’s my personal experience. I would have to share my affected projects for a source, but I didn’t release them yet.

        Just try it by printing some special characters on the cli - like arrow symbols

        Unfortunately the license agreement for .Net forbids publishing any kind of benchmark results.
