* Compilers for other languages

	Here are some other free compilers for other languages that
	target .NET and should work with Mono with no problem:

	<ul>
		* <a href="#ComponentPascal">Component Pascal</a>
		* <a href="#MonoLogo">MonoLogo</a>
		* <a href="#Oberon">Oberon</a>
		* <a href="#Forth">Forth</a>
		* <a href="#mbas">Mono Basic</a> (Mono's VB.NET compiler)
		* <a href="#dotlist">dotLisp</a>
                * <a href="#nemerle">Nemerle</a>
		* <a href="#python">Python</a>
	</ul>

	Languages which are known to run, but we have not done a
	complete ran of all their regression tests to validate it:

	<ul>
		* Kylix.NET.
	</ul>

	Languages we would like to have supported, with links to resources:

	<ul>
		* <a href="#JavaScript">Java Script</a>
		* <a href="#java.html">Java</a>
		* <a href="#c">C</a>
	</ul>

	Some experimental bindings:

	<ul>
		* <a href="#Tachy">Tachy</a> (scheme-like)
	</ul>

** Java

	There is a very interesting project to make a JavaVM for .NET
	<a href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0109845/">here</a>.

	Zoltan has got IKVM to work with Mono.

<a name="PHP">
** PHP

	Sterling has code to allow PHP developers to use Mono code, in
	his <a href="http://www.php.net/~sterling/mono/">site</a>

<a name="MonoLogo">
** MonoLogo

	An implementation of Logo for Mono (and .NET)

	The <A href="http://monologo.sf.net">Mono Logo</a> compiler is
	hosted in the <a href="ccvs.html">Mono CVS</a> repository
	and also available on the <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a> mirrors.

<a name="mbas">
** Mono Basic (Mono's VB.NET compiler)

	Work has resumed on the Mono Visual Basic compiler (currently
	called mbas).  It is part of the standard Mono distribution,
	but its still an early compiler.

<a name="Oberon">
** Oberon

	This Oberon compiler is written in Oberon.NET (another self
	hosting compiler).

	The main site <a href="http://www.oberon.ethz.ch/oberon.net/">http://www.oberon.ethz.ch/oberon.net/</a>

** Python

        <a href="mailto:brian@No.Spam.zope.com">Brian Lloyd</a> is
	working on linking the Python runtime with the .NET runtime.
	More information on the PS.NET project can be found <a

<a name="JavaScript">
* Java Script

	Cesar is working on Mono's implementation of JScript, the code
	is available on CVS on module `mcs'.

<a name="nemerle">
* Nemerle

        Nemerle is a new hybrid (functional, object-oriented and
        imperative) programming language for the .NET platform. It is
        available from <a
        href="http://www.nemerle.org/">http://www.nemerle.org</a>.
        
* Missing languages

	Here is a list of a few languages that we would like to see
	supported.  We will try to maintain a set of links here with 
	technical information for those interested in porting,
	implementing or adapting a compiler for any of these
	languages:

<a name="c">
* C

	Ideally GCC could be modified to generate CIL, but it is a 
	big task.  That would give us various compilers in one pass.

	<a href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/software/lcc">LCC</a> 4.2
	has been recently released.  This release adds support for compiling
	ANSI C programs to CIL.  Note that the CIL support only works on Win32
	right now, but should be easy to convert to Mono/other architectures.

	LCC is not an open source compiler, but it is free as long as you
	do not profit from selling it. 

<a name="ada"></a>
* ADA

	A# is an ADA compiler for the CIL platform, it can be downloaded from:

<a name="Java">
* Java

	Java bytecode can run directly on Mono using the <a
	href="http://www.ikvm.net">IKVM</a> java virtual machine for
	.NET.

	We have a <a href="java.html">separate page</a> for Java.
