Microsoft Edge WebGL engine open-sourced
Wow, 45 upvotes and no comments...<p>While I&#x27;m not entirely sure what the strategy is with this, I&#x27;m fairly surprised by the move.  This is something that would have been unheard of from Microsoft even a decade ago.  They&#x27;ve made a bunch of really huge strides in FLOSS, but they&#x27;ve all been centered around developer mindshare.  I totally get open-sourcing your developer tooling, especially in consideration of their Azure ambitions, which isn&#x27;t bad.<p>I really like VS Code, which has become my daily editor of choice, I keep meaning to try the integrated debugging, but haven&#x27;t.  The .Net core releases have me looking at C# again, in a fairly new light.  The Linux Subsystem for Windows is impressive.<p>All of that said, this move still surprises me.  I&#x27;m not sure if&#x2F;how much it will benefit the larger developer community, but it is really nice to see a much more open MS.  All I can say is that the next half decade will be particularly interesting in terms of software improvements as hardware has started to level off.
