  Well, Mono is a common language runtime and thus you
can use whatever scripting language you prefer e.g.
Python, Javascript, etc.  Mono doesn't imply that you
have to use C#, VB, or Java.

  Well, allow me to highlight the XUL Alliance site
online @ http://xul.sourceforge  listing more than a
dozen open source projects using Java, C/C++,
Mono/.NET and so on. If you don't want to use Java or
Mono you might wonna look into Keystone online @
http://www.keystoneframework.org

  Yeah, using markup languages and scripting to build
your apps "Web-style" is the future. Welcome onboard.
