Mono appeals to me in much the same way as ObectiveC: it seems like I should like it (and have a use for it), but I haven’t identified one yet. While reading Planet Gnome, I noticed that Miguel blogged about a new feature in Mono: bundling. That is, wrapping your dependencies in a single, distributable executable. After some, uh, intimate work with Python’s distutils, py2exe and BundleBuilder, explicit and integrated bundling support sounds like heaven.
