[Ldsoss] Not really open source, but it's free...

[David Wagner]

Ah, I haven't been keeping abreast of their latest news. I'm glad they 
decided to do this, it makes more sense with all the free development 
environments out there.

The problem is that .NET doesn't really have any (perceived) decent
support on non-Windows platforms.  I really like the concept, but I
don't have any decent libraries I can play with.  Especially in my
chosen language (perl).  I don't think it's animosity so much as
uninterested.
