"<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMCMSpWrO7w&amp;t=4m55s"">4:55</a> How about them making full .NET for Linux (Yes", I am aware of .NET Core) for start? This "friends" thing seems like MS is only trying to make Linux stuff work in Windows, not vice versa.,(reply>), @Lukas "Decent" Few are out there these days. Either they don't care, don't know or they're time limited. Few even get a chance to make a proper app unfortunately.,(reply>), @Микола Франчук I sure hope so.,(reply>), Btw, .NET (not Core) is slowly dying, why do you need it? It is going to be substituted by Core anyway.,(reply>), I doubt that will ever come to be true, there's just too much Windowsness there to port to Linux. AFAIK though, every decent .NET developer these days knows to only depend on the .NET standard, which makes their application easily runnable anywhere. This should also eliminate the need for a full .NET on Linux. I know a fair bit of companies (both corporate banks and smaller companies) that are making strong moves in this direction, only Windows servers they still have are legacy they can't get rid of, and they will go away eventually. Old frontend applications also one of the culprits. It's a slow process, but it's happening IMO.
