I’ve never met Miguel de Icaza, but I found this interview and it is quite possibly the most intelligent interview I have listened to in the last few years. He’s an extremely “balanced” individual, fair and accurate. I like that. No, I don’t like it, let me re-phrase: It’s important to me. 
If you are looking into Mono and want to get a feel for the guy behind it, then this is the interview you should listen to.
Wow.
Note: Pay attention to the part about the Mono compiler being a service to allow dynamic C#. Now. Today.
