MonoDroid - Mono testing program for Android

Miguel De Icaza in his blog told about the progress of work on porting the Mono project to the Android platform. To access the early test versions now, you need to pass the following survey .

Miguel described the following directions in the development of MonoDroid:

- C # -binding for the Android API;
- full JIT compiler: support for LINQ, dynamic, DLR (support for Android development in Python, Ruby and other dynamic languages ​​implemented for DLR);
- tools allowing to deliver with the application only those Mono components that are required by the application;
- Ahead-of-Time compilation, which will allow you to specify the ability to precompile the application to Mono at the time of installation on the device, which will speed up the subsequent launch of the application.

In addition, Miguel writes that they are still discussing whether to provide the possibility of a common mono runtime or embed such a runtime into each application. In addition, the Mono team is interested in your opinion on the development tools that you would like to see for MonoDroid.
