ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

I'd feel a lot better if Microsoft renamed C# to AIDS. After all I hear that they want to promote 'trustworthy computing'. So lets be honest, isn't C# a lot like AIDS? It will live on it's host like a parasite, draining them of money, than suddenly become totally obsolete and useless, right after Microsoft innovates by figuring another way to get peoples money into their pockets in return for poor quality products and lock-in.
LOL, I have Mono and AIDS installed along with gtk-sharp, but I am now starting to learn Gtk+ and Gtkmm. I'm more optimistic about Gtkmm than I am about middleware because I really want to just program for Linux exclusively.
That is true of .NET and even Java though. I should know, my current task at work is to port a Java app to Linux - why does it need porting? They embed Internet Explorer
I was thinking more like a java.awt.Component abstraction of Internet Explorer. Wine is architecture dependent when used with windows binaries (winelib is theoretically system independent).
In a way they already do, except the abstraction is COM/ActiveX.
Anyway, IE is the only engine they care about/has the features they need, mainly editing. Gecko is kind of catching up but isn't so easy to embed using Java.
Java2 is middleware. That's a valid definition of Java2.
I don't want my Gtkmm applications to run cross platform. I would make it so that they purposely don't. I only want them to run on Linux, but I'm just learning Gtk+ and Gtkmm at this stage, so I'm not deploying anything yet.
