- pjmlp 2y agoYep, he switched focus after how everything went with Xamarin post acquisition, seems pretty much done with anything .NET.
- jeswin 2y agoHe worked on Mono for nearly two decades, and contributed significantly to the platform. He may have stopped working on it because the platform is quite mature (and Open Source) and his continued work would have limited impact.
- pjmlp 2y agoHere a couple of examples, https://visualstudiomagazine.com/Articles/2022/06/16/csharp-vs-code-tool.aspx https://visualstudiomagazine.com/Articles/2022/06/16/csharp-... Or its beloved Xamarin, " Rewrites never go as planned. Xamarin.Forms turning into Maui was supposed to be a quick change, fueled by hopium so strong it defied gravity.

- indolering 2y agoI would love to hear more. Always been a big fan of Miguel and his positive stance towards mending fences with MS. Sad to hear transitioning to the mother ship didn't work out.
- migueldeicaza 2y agoI still use .net :-) But this port could not have been done with Xamarin due to the lack of SwiftUI integration.
- pjmlp 2y agoFair enough, happy to be corrected on the matter.
