I know, this is some kind of OT here, but
I would be interested in your opionion about using mono for application 
logic / api
development. I think it can help when you have a small team of 
developers with
c#/.NET experience and time to market really counts. Stuff like dbus, 
json parsers,
http/soap servers, etc, can be done really fast and 'safe'.

Can someone provide pointers ro resources other than the 'usual 
Microsoft patent
/ promise issues' and 'why mono is not good for linux/fos'?
More specific technical pros/cons would be really welcome.

Kind regards,
Dirk.
