WASM (Blazor) uses the Mono runtime. > I guess the more interesting question is, do you think Mono will remain important for the places you've mentioned, or will be replaced more and more by .NET Core? Especially given the UI goals with .NET Core 3 (and my own biased belief that .NET Core is the clear unabashed future of .NET). I don't know what the future is for Mono. Mono currently has support for platforms that .NET Core doesn't specifically target - iOS, Android, native code through Unity, WASM, etc. It'll probably start to move toward specifically supporting those platforms while continuing to support newer versions of the .NET Standard. .NET Core/.NET Standard is the future of mainstream .NET. .NET Framework is dead. I've heard it from Microsoft people directly. There probably will never be a 4.9, and there will definitely never be a 5.0.
