URL: C# in developing bioinformatics programming object model
Submitted by Deying Kong; posted on Thursday, October 3, 2002 (17 comments)

Currently most of software tools and programming models were developed with Perl or Java under the Unix system. Millions of Windows programmers are blocked from accessing these programming objects. Do they need to learn Unix and Perl? Many biologist are familiar with the easy-to-use Windows system. Can they spend less time learning Windows solutions? I am exploring the power of the Windows platform and the modern, elegant language C# (a cross platform .Net solution development language) and using them to develop a proper hierarchical object model and analysis tools.

I think we should support GNU/Linux, and perl, not only because it`s currently very easy to use and with a nice graphic environment (please see www.gnome.org), but because it is FREE, I mean, it follows the philosophy that thinks that knowledge should be humanity's patrimony, and not controled by a small group. We can't say the same about Windows/C#/.NET. Supporting free software is not only getting the best (although it is too). It is supporting freedom (sorry for my awful english...)
