Hi all,
is there a replacement for Visual C# on FreeBSD?

jemate18 said:Anyway, for the OP, I think if you really need to do C#, best platform for it is its home, MS....
fonz said:Best platform? Nah. Better make that the only platform. C# is a Microsoft abomination best kept on Microsoft systems.

Well, not at the same time of course... Depending on the task at hand, either C++ or Python is usually a better choice than C#.

I'm a fan of "Right tools for the right job" adage.
I think MonoDevelop was created to give companies a free alternative to Visual Studio. It's not a philosophy at all, I don't think. I was under the assumption, "Hey, here's a challenge to put .NET on Linux, Let's do it!"
Just a guess.
Djn said:Now, I generally agree with you, except for one thing: C#/asp.net ever being the right tool. Ugh. Been there, done that, hated the arcane magical mess that needed debugging as soon as something decided to stop working.

Excellent philosophy. I am coming from Windows where I developed entire front-Office client-server application fro scratch using .Net and C# (impossible to do that in Python and Java within a decent (I front-office) amount of time).How many web pages do you know that use C++? Probably 0. How many websites use C#? A load more than Python or C++ together.

Regarding QT/GTK can you send me more link or information about it?Consider python, perl, QT/GTK or something similar.Doesn't Python originated from ABC language, and is used to teach student about object oriented? Excellent language to learn but not for production purposes. I had a quant colleague who developed some neat Vega analysis for FX option in Python. After 6 months of hassle trying to integrate the code in a production-like GUI, he abandoned and the Vega analysis remained only a console-like application to be executed manually: not the best user-friendly interaction.
Thanks for the information. Any recommendation on how I can set it up as I do not see this in ports.You can use Visual Studio Code and dotnet 6 or dotnet 7
Edit:
If you want GUI you can use Avalonia Framework
I have been browsing mono web site and they do not provide solution for FreeBSD (their Mac solution is Visual Studio, not even mono) and they report that the source code for rebuild is only availabkle for windows. Are you currently using mono? if so how did you set it up? any recommendation?I think you can use vscode as editor for mono/C#/F#.
