C and C# as System Programming Languages

DotGNU's primary system programming languages are C and C#. A lot of excellent Free Software libraries have been implemented in C. These can all be used from C# programs, as well as programs in other programming languages which can be compiled to IL (the bytecode system of .NET) as soon as we have ported enough of glibc to work with the C compiler front-end for cscc (DotGNU's compiler suite).

This porting work is done in the pnetC subproject of DotGNU Portable.NET and it urgently needs more volunteers.
