- JustLurking2022 4y agoAs a .NET developer since the early days, it's purpose has always been to sell more Windows Server and SQL Server licenses. For the first 15 years, there was no official support for other platforms. More recently, the runtime is cross platform but many libraries only have support for MSFT products out of the box (e.g. WPF, or entity framework relying on external maintainers to write providers for most popular OSS DBs).
- jbverschoor 4y ago.NET exists because ms didn’t want to pay licenses Also, they had visual J++. That was a nice ide, with an embrace and extend strategy to be evil. The.NET history seems incomplete. I recall downloading .NET beta for FreeBSD in the 90s or maybe beginning of 2000. I can’t seem to find anything about this anymore
