I ve started your typical web project from scratch using the Mono platform. You know, web services, a UI, MySQL database, all that. I ve heard around the net that it s not a picture-perfect implementation of the .Net platform, but so far I can t find anything it s not good at. I see the odd "Not Implemented" pop up in intellesense, but haven t run into any snags or dead ends.
Have you hit a brick wall with a .Net feature that s not implemented in Mono?
From my understanding, the guys working on Mono have pretty much feature completed their version of ASP.NET 2.0. Now I know they have been working on getting the .NET 3.5 things like LINQ and such implimented, but I m not too sure how far they ve gotten with that. I do know that working the desktop has been a little more difficult and they ve been working to get a few of the desktop specific namespaces worked out like System.Windows.Forms.
Here is an article that dives a little bit deeper into the whole Mono setup. It s a little old, but has a lot of code and descriptions to digest.
Good luck, and hope Mono works out for your project.
License is a problem, noncompacting GC is another problem, there is no WPF, WF, Entity Framework, has only basic WCF, MonoDevelop has a long way to race with Eclipse/VS.Net, mod_mono isn t stable or perfect as tomcat/IIS, I couldn t find any high traffic site using it...but, You probably will not face with a serious problem, if your project isn t enterprise level. C# is probably the best architected language ever and evolving fast. .Net framework is far better than jdk in my opinion and mono people working hard, but there are other problems as I said; another choice is Java. Java has the mature / rack-solid state of art projects like Terracotta, Hibernate (ported to .net), Ehcache, Compass,... but some people say that Sun is out of money and Java isn t evolving for years (as a language) so began to die,...
I think the most important thing is finishing the job done right and on time. Select the technology which you know best and like most and don t waste your time by looking back. It ll be not a problem until your project grows too much.
