[ale] Hello World - in C# - in Mono - in Ubuntu is done

[arxaaron]

I can't think of anything more short sighted than learning to program in
a totally proprietary language, especially given that there are so many
fully capable and liberated open source languages available whose
designers don't try to handcuff you to proprietary API's and put  
daunting
roadblocks in the way of cross platform compiling.

In some assembly code languages, "#" is the NOT symbol, so even the
name of the C# language is telling you NOT to use it!  :-)
