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>
13 * <a href="#nemerle">Nemerle</a>
14 * <a href="#python">Python</a>
17 Languages which are known to run, but we have not done a
18 complete ran of all their regression tests to validate it:
24 Languages we would like to have supported, with links to resources:
27 * <a href="#JavaScript">Java Script</a>
28 * <a href="#java.html">Java</a>
32 Some experimental bindings:
35 * <a href="#Tachy">Tachy</a> (scheme-like)
41 Java is supported through the <a href="http://www.ikvm.net">IKVM</a> virtual machine.
43 Zoltan worked with Jeroen to get IKVM to work with Mono.
48 Nemerle is a new hybrid (functional, object-oriented and
49 imperative) programming language for the .NET platform. It is

56 Sterling has code to allow PHP developers to use Mono code, in
57 his <a href="http://www.php.net/~sterling/mono/">site</a>
62 An implementation of Logo for Mono (and .NET)
64 The <A href="http://monologo.sf.net">Mono Logo</a> compiler is
65 hosted in the <a href="ccvs.html">Mono CVS</a> repository
66 and also available on the <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a> mirrors.
69 ** Mono Basic (Mono's VB.NET compiler)
71 Work has resumed on the Mono Visual Basic compiler (currently
72 called mbas). It is part of the standard Mono distribution,
73 but its still an early compiler.
78 This Oberon compiler is written in Oberon.NET (another self

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