why not /usr/bin/csharp scripts?

I'm curious how viable it is, to use C# as a scripting language, instead of or in addition to python, etc, for devops tasks. When I google for "c# script" and similar searches, I find a ton of fragmented projects claiming to do similar things. Then I discover /usr/bin/csharp has been around for 8 years, and is included in mono-core since at least mono 2.10, and can be used as a script interpreter via #!/usr/bin/csharp. So far I've done nothing more than hello world, but I'm wondering, is this not a good direction to go? Why are there so many attempts to reinvent the wheel? Does /usr/bin/csharp have some horrible limitations or something? TIA for advice or comments... _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.dot.net/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
