C# is an ECMA standard. There every reason to develop a compiler for other
operating systems. It would be very interesting if an Ada version of the
.Net architecture could be made for Linux. The idea is to be able to produce
binaries that would work on both Windows and Linux. The reliability of Ada
or SPARK would provide a very significant marketing advantage.

Why?  That's what they said about Cpp and Java.  It hasn't happened yet. 
  And C# is constrained to the M$ platform for the moment.  I haven't 
heard of anyone seriously considering developing apps in C# for Linux, 
nor Unix.  That would be interesting.

What would you rather have them work with if they wouldn't work in Ada, 
C(++) or Java?
