it was just an example.  But anyway, yes, you can get .NET to run under
Linux via mono.  Of course, be sure to get yourself patent coverage from
the lame Novell/M$ deal... :P

I was just pointing out to Warp that once you get a common binary
infrastructure and get your code compiled to it, documentation is all you
need to call functions written in other languages:  name of the function,
arguments, argument types and returned values.  It's how you are able to
call C/C++ routines from, say, a Delphi program:  in the end it's just
binary routines calling other native binary routines.
