* 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>
<a name="Java"></a>
** Java
Java is supported through the <a href="http://www.ikvm.net">IKVM</a> virtual machine.
Zoltan worked with Jeroen to get IKVM to work with Mono.
<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>.
<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>

Page</a>, you can <a
href="http://www.citi.qut.edu.au/research/plas/projects/cp_files/cpdownload.html">
download it</a>
<a name="Forth">
** Delta Forth
The Delta Forth.NET project: <a href="http://www.dataman.ro/dforth">Home
Page</a> and <a href="http://www.dataman.ro/dforth">more
details here</a>.
<a name="Tachy">
** Tachy
A subset of Scheme language called <a

<a name="Python"></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
href="http://www.zope.org/Members/Brian/PythonNet">here</a>.
<a name="dotlisp"></a>
** dotLisp
DotLisp is available from: <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/dotlisp/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/dotlisp/</a>
<a name="JavaScript">
* Java Script
Cesar is working on Mono's implementation of JScript, the code
is available on CVS on module `mcs'.
* 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:
