WE HAVE been keeping track of Mono/C# bindings as they were added to KDE [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and now we find Miguel de Icaza remarking on this problem.

The KDE folks have created some brilliant bindings for Mono and .NET called Qyoto.

What's to worry about? After all, Mr. de Icaza is proudly "hanging out at Microsoft" quite as often as he does, going as far as attending their developer conferences too (recently ALT.NET Seattle).

Steve Ballmer was quoted as saying "developers, developers, developers, developers." Was Mr. Ballmer also referring to Mr. de icaza and his colleagues (extended family)? ⬆
