I have a pedantic correction here.
Instead of open sourcing the .NET Framework they wrote a new opensource framework (named .NET core) that is very similar to their closed source framework. Microsoft is currently supporting and expanding both frameworks.
- n00j 7y agoFYI a lot of the .NET Framework is also opensource https://referencesource.microsoft.com/ https://referencesource.microsoft.com/
- lozenge 7y agoIt's shared source, not open source. It isn't even complete enough to compile.
- majkinetor 7y agoFYI, only way forward is core. Microsoft doesn't really invest much in older net and related (for example PowerShell 5). There may be fixes here and there but are mostly security. It defies logic to support 2 frameworks, one of which is WAY BETTER then the other and x-platform.
- majkinetor 7y agoAnd only few days after this comment, is official: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-net-5/ https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-net-5/
- robwilliams 7y ago.NET Core is getting MASSIVE adoption in the large midwest city I work in. I expect .NET Framework to go on life support in a couple years. The ability to build and run applications on Linux is something even old school .NET shops are excited about.
