[gameprogrammer] Re: [OOT] C++ or C++.Net

We had a discussion about this recently at the office.  As far as I
know from what was talked about Mono also isn't complete with respect
to winforms.  Mono is getting close to being fully 1.0 compatible but
.NET is getting close (if not already) to 2.0 release.  So I would
say .NET isn't 100% cross platform yet so not quite a java
replacement in that concern.

Another thing to watch out for with .NET (similarly with Java and
others.) is that the compiled code can be decompiled to fairly
readable code.  If you create code that is suppose to be private then
you'll probably want to look into code obfuscators just to make it a
bit of a nuisance to those who wish to crack or steal parts of your
program.
