Managed Wrapper (was: RE: [ODE] My ODE++)

[Jon Watte]

Perhaps you can elaborate? In case you lost the context, here's a summary:

- Someone was saying that a better C++ wrapper might make writing a managed ("CLR" "DOTNET" etc) API for ODE easier. 
- I replied that I had written a managed API that's richer than the current wrapper available in contrib, and I described the approach I took, including wrapping using Managed DirectX APIs to reduce impedance. 
- Someone replied that tieing the managed API to DirectX precluded other platforms from using the managed wrapper. 
- The only other platform that could conceivably use that would be "DOTGNU" running under Linux, and, honestly, it's not currently anything I'd base a production-worthy effort on, which is what my joke was about. It seems that you were trying to prove that there are production efforts using DOTGNU on Linux, but I fail to see how your links apply.

Cheers,

Good point.

Maybe you should inform Pixar

Weta Digital,

Dreamworks

and Industrial Light and Magic.

.. etc.

That they should ditch their 'CLR runtime environment' and 'upgrade'
to DirectX.
