Like is should be?, nobody has do it in C thats why it's in C#, what difference would it make being done in C?

Mono is an excellent system, and C# is a very nice language. The rapid progress of apps like Banshee are a testament to the power of the managed code system.

But Beagle is a system daemon that runs permenantely, and as such needs to be as small and efficient as possible. That's exactly what C is good at, and what managed code cannot be. However much you pare it down, you're always going to have the overhead of the VM running in the background.
