A little off-topic but I'm gettinga little impatient.
What is the reason we can't have a dnf install dotnet or apt install dotnet and have it linked to whatever is the most recent? I can even do that with php-cli.
A deeper problem to me is I don't think there's enough expertise outside of Microsoft to continue this project should Microsoft decide to take its toys and go home.
- romanovcode 9y ago>Microsoft decide to take its toys and go home. coreclr and corefx (basically C# .NET Core) source code is using MIT license.
- thanksgiving 9y agoYes but who will (indeed can) continue the project should Microsoft stop work on it? I mean no disrespect to my hardworking friends at red hat but they cannot take over stewardship of the entirety of dot net. Nobody else seems remotely interested.
- romanovcode 9y agoI cannot see a scenario where MS stops working on .NET, also, people are interested. Remember Mono?
- jbergens 9y agoI see this as a non-problem. How many people can really rewrite the jvm from scratch? Or just take over maintanance of it? Or take over go? Etc. The number of commits and pull requests for .NET from outside MS seems to be increasing all the time.
