Novell has extended its Mono project (a .NET clone) to the iPhone platform.

I didn’t test it but it looks promising. I’d rather use C# and at least part of the .NET Framework than going back to C/C++ and have to learn a whole new programming model. Actually, the iPhone uses Objective C, which is not even quite C++.

Also interesting is the note that the project is *not* Open Source, but a commercial venture.
