imeem – written in C# and Mono

imeem – What

Saw one of the developers posting in the comment thread at /.

OK I’m one of the imeem developers – the first poster is kinda correct we wrote as much as possible in C# to make it trivially portable. The web servers are still running IIS because we’ve discovered a number of shortcomings in Mono’s ASP.Net implementation. I’m the security guy here and I expressed reservations about running IIS, but in the end there were bugs we just couldn’t get around when the time came to deplying the web services.

But! the original is also right the servers that run the actual service – the ‘supernodes’ – they’re running mono on top of linux and I am extremely impressed by how well mono handles it all.

Interesting. I haven’t seen too many applications written to both Mono and the Windows CLR.
