The thought of Mono's death

Once upon a time, I naively thought that mono would become the next Java and the future would be infinitely bright. It was really naive to look back.

1. Microsoft will not make mono develop too well

As another Implementation of CLR, C #, And. NET Framework, Mono is mainly used on non-Windows platforms. If Mono is mature, development on non-Windows platforms will be smooth, which will be greatly promoted. NET technology is widely used, but what does it bring to Microsoft? It is just a reputation without any practical benefits. In addition, this will promote the popularization of non-Windows platforms, and this is precisely fundamentally shaking windows. The most important aspect of a technology development direction is the profit-driven drive. Therefore, in Microsoft's view, it is okay for mono to play, and it will not be tolerated if it wants to develop.

 

2. Mono's own development is subject to patent restrictions

As another implementation of. net, Mono is subject to the patents of others. Once Microsoft becomes difficult, it will surely put mono to death.

 

3. Mono is not welcomed by the open-source community

Java is already the most extensive enterprise development platform in the open-source community. Developers do not have to learn a similar set of technologies. Java has accumulated a lot of frameworks, libraries, and projects, and it is impossible to re-use mono for development. Furthermore, Mono has little advantage over Java in terms of technological advancement.

 

Since mono does not have any development advantages, the death of Mono is inevitable, but for developers, learning Mono is helpful for further understanding. net, which has great benefits for improving programming capabilities, but do not count on it as a platform for development.

Let's look at the current development direction. BS and mobile development are in full swing. as HTML5, Flash, Android, iPhone and other front-end development technologies, the competition is fierce, the core server development technology is relatively stable in Java and.. net. Although PHP is widely used, the large enterprise-level application servers are mainly Java and. net .. Net United Front desktop and server development, a set of technologies all over the world, but must serve the Windows platform. Java is not widely used in desktop development, mainly on the server side. However, Java is truly cross-platform and runs stably on both Windows and Linux, with little difference in performance.

 

In the face of such a complex technology, it is vital for developers to choose, because a person's energy is limited after all, and it is impossible to master all technologies.

(1) For application developers

The first choice is the front-end or the server. If it is the front-end, and then the desktop or browser, I personally think that the desktop development field is getting narrower and narrower, try to select browser, HTML5 and JavaScript are the best choice. For the server, select one for Java and. net.

(2) For system developers

C/C ++ is the best choice.

(3) system O & M personnel

Script Language is the best choice.

(4) For all developers

The data structure and design pattern are the same.

(5) for the Project Manager

The more business logic Customers focus on, the more experience they experience, and the less important the language is.
