Re: C# on the IBMi?

John,
I'm sure IBM has considered putting C# on IBMi before, but keeping the pressure on would be a help. I know they pay a lot of attention to the requirements sent in through the Common Advisory Council. So, go to Common.org and enter this one. That would be another indication to them that there is definitely interest in the community.
Ciao,
Phil

Has anyone attempted to compile mono, rotor or the new Microsoft Open

There definitely have been past efforts, for example:

This post on the WEB400 list implies that IBM did get it working to
some extent, but never released it:

I haven't found any explicit mention of recent efforts, but with
CoreCLR released as open source, I think the door to C# running
directly on the i is more open than it ever has been before. (I don't
believe it's wide open, just more open than before.)
