The problem is that DotGNU is still very prototypical. I tell people
I'm working on it, and I encourage them to help and keep it in mind,
but I don't tell them to download it and try it out. Honestly, if we
at this moment advertise ourselves as an alternative to .NET, we're
going to shoot ourselves, because everyone's going to see what we
have so far and laugh and forget about us. I think we need to
develop a little more maturity; something relatively complete that
can actually run and do something cool.
Don't take this the wrong way; I think what we've accomplished is
great. But think about it from the point of view of someone outside.
What we have is quite honestly very very far from any kind of
coherent, built, complete system. We have some impressive tools
partially developed, and some neat ideas on the drawing board, but
that's not going to get us anywhere without a MS-caliber Vaporware
Hype Department. :-(
