Cross Language Integration

Lluis S�nchez from the Mono team on his blog produced two screencasts: (first and second) which demostrate how Mono allows code written in C#, Boo and Java to work transparently with each other.

The demo shows:

• The latest MonoDevelop IDE in action: creating a project made up of components and libraries written in multiple languages.
• Three different languages consuming the Gtk# API.
• The Mono Debugger in action. The debugger is a library and there are two front-ends that consume this library: a GUI front-end as seen on this screencast and a command-line front-end.
• MonoDevelop's new templates for Boo and Java.
• Three different languages instantiating and inheriting code from another language.

The Java magic is achieved through IKVM and the GNU Classpath.

The screencasts: first and second.
