As we all know Fantom dotnet runtime is quite far behind than the Java runtime. Do you think it's possible that this can be used so that only Java codes are maintained. The C# code will just be translated from Java.

The quality of source code translators are usually questionable and almost always require manual interference, it is usually a one time shot and you go in to fix everything or you begin tuning the translator to translate your code correctly... in both cases it is a lot of work... and the result's quality and performance is almost guaranteed to be less than a manually written code... besides it is probably faster to finish the dot net runtime.... It is a nice dream but unfortunately, we are not there yet.. (as far as I know)

Hi all,
I read something about Mono just now, Xamarin porting Android codes to Mono, using a Java to C# translation tool called Sharpen.
