But mobile apps would need a GUI too right?
I agree that there's a point to console applications which can be compiled to different platforms. But that's a basic feature of countless languages... c++, python, ruby, javascript, rust, go... They all can run console applications on different platforms.
What I don't understand, is why they didn't focus on the a cross-platform version of Windows forms or XAML. The only cross-platform competitors in this market are QT and Electron. This would also promote people to develop for windows on other systems like Mac and Linux...
- simonh 7y agoXamarin has a cross platform mobile GUI and there’s a cross platform open source WinForms implementation. I’m not sure why you’re always talking about console applications though, most software these days is some form of server process or network service.
- gitgud 7y agoTrue, there's a bit more development in the area since they released a few years ago.. I’m not sure why you’re always talking about console applications though Terminal executable binaries are just called console applications in the dot Net world right?
