The CLR has been cross-platform as CoreCLR since 2016.

Indeed, and here I am targeting .NET Framework 4.7.2, because the ecosystem isn't fully compatible with Core. Plus on UNIX, Java has 25 years of history, not 4 (not counting WIP mono here).

  I'm well aware :) just wanted to clarify since this comes up a lot. I spent most of last year maintaining a Web Forms app. It's no fun. Ironically, there used to be many more CLR languages, because Microsoft paid for their development. IronPython and IronRuby stand out. I wish ClojureCLR weren't dead too.

    > I wish ClojureCLR weren't dead too Is there any reason for saying that? Checking the commits history on Github[1], the project seems still alive. [1]https://github.com/clojure/clojure-clr/commits/master https://github.com/clojure/clojure-clr/commits/master

      I don't have a huge amount of insight into the project but the commits over time don't look super healthy: https://github.com/clojure/clojure-clr/graphs/commit-activity https://github.com/clojure/clojure-clr/graphs/commit-activit... Either way it's pretty clearly not a core platform for Clojure.

        Using your yardstick, ClojureCLR might look like the primary platform if you compare to Clojure proper: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/graphs/commit-activity https://github.com/clojure/clojure/graphs/commit-activity

        As I wrote below, I misjudged the project because of the low activity in its issues. Clearly the projects are not managed through GitHub, which is what I am used to. I made a mistake.

      I stand corrected. I assumed that the low velocity was a sign it was flagging.
