[RMS][Mono]Scala for free software writing

I don't know if the Scala development lists are a good place to have
free software philosophy debates. But there was an article on
slashdot about this a few days ago, and a Mono developer named Jo
Shields makes a very well-reasoned argument in defense of Mono:

Hi

Thanks for info.

Looks like Scala is good for Java-replacement.
So , I think what is good for C#-replacement,not about free software
philosophy.

Hello,

I can see some activity in the trunk concerning the .NET version, so the
support will improve in Scala 2.8. However if you look for a C# replacement
*now* without loosing access to the .NET platform, you could try out F#.
がんばって、ね。

No, using scala on mono is not a good way to avoid using mono.
Using scala on an open JVM instead would be.

Why do you want a C# replacement?

I think that C# programmer will be happy when learn Scala , like Java
programmer learning Scala.
Software science should be for happiness of mankind.

Sure, but there's not a very big gap between C# and Scala, like there
is between Java and Scala.
