1 * Compilers for other languages
3 Here are some other free compilers for other languages that
4 target .NET and should work with Mono with no problem:
7 * <a href="#ComponentPascal">Component Pascal</a>
8 * <a href="#MonoLogo">MonoLogo</a>
9 * <a href="#Oberon">Oberon</a>
10 * <a href="#Forth">Forth</a>
11 * <a href="#mbas">Mono Basic</a> (Mono's VB.NET compiler)
12 * <a href="#dotlist">dotLisp</a>
15 Languages which are known to run, but we have not done a
16 complete ran of all their regression tests to validate it:
22 Languages we would like to have supported, with links to resources:
25 * <a href="#JavaScript">Java Script</a>
26 * <a href="#java.html">Java</a>
30 Some experimental languages:
33 * <a href="#Tachy">Tachy</a> (scheme-like)
34 * <a href="#python">Python</a>
40 There is a very interesting project to make a JavaVM for .NET
41 <a href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0109845/">here</a>.
43 Zoltan has got IKVM to work with Mono.
48 Sterling has code to allow PHP developers to use Mono code, in
49 his <a href="http://www.php.net/~sterling/mono/">site</a>
54 An implementation of Logo for Mono (and .NET)
56 The <A href="http://monologo.sf.net">Mono Logo</a> compiler is
57 hosted in the <a href="ccvs.html">Mono CVS</a> repository
58 and also available on the <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a> mirrors.
61 ** Mono Basic (Mono's VB.NET compiler)
63 Work has resumed on the Mono Visual Basic compiler (currently
64 called mbas). It is part of the standard Mono distribution,
65 but its still an early compiler.

127 Cesar is working on Mono's implementation of JScript, the code
128 is available on CVS on module `mcs'.
132 Here is a list of a few languages that we would like to see
133 supported. We will try to maintain a set of links here with
134 technical information for those interested in porting,
135 implementing or adapting a compiler for any of these
141 Ideally GCC could be modified to generate CIL, but it is a
142 big task. That would give us various compilers in one pass.
144 <a href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/software/lcc">LCC</a> 4.2
145 has been recently released. This release adds support for compiling
146 ANSI C programs to CIL. Note that the CIL support only works on Win32
147 right now, but should be easy to convert to Mono/other architectures.
149 LCC is not an open source compiler, but it is free as long as you
150 do not profit from selling it.
155 Java bytecode can run directly on Mono using the <a
