Beware of Microsoft bearing gifts...
They don't give a shit anymore. The business customers are paying for 365 and the gamers are paying for gamepass. Those are the money makers now. If you want you can run windows, but if you're still running windows apps (including 365) then Microsoft still gets paid.
That's extremely uncharacteristic. Are they trying to prepare for an antitrust probe?
So they forked, gave mono away and asked that everyone use their fork?
It seems like they're hoping to gain a significant chunk of the mono community directly into .net.
That could be good or bad I suppose.
Remember back in 2008 when people were losing their shit if someone created a mono app on Linux? Miguel remembers.
.Net sucks, compared to mono. The compiler is slower, filesize after optimization is still higher and the character set in cli is far more limited when I compile an app with .Net.
Are those the most important factors for a framework? Or in the top 5?
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
