Designing the C Library in Linux will allow other developers to write bindings for their favorite language (Python, D, Ruby, Perl, C++, Whatever..) because all of these languages can call C code by some means.

same goes for native Windows DLL's ... they suck (their handling)... datatype troubles (is "Int" 16 or 32bit in this language?) sucks too...
(IMHO)

No

That was a hint from me to use the automatic code converter from SharpDevelop to get "C"-style out of my code....

Don't get me wrong: Micro$oft does a lot of crap IMHO - but .NET I would exclude...
I think I really have to install a Linux and tryout MONO ?
