MS wanted to buy Xamarin way back. Xamarin held back. I remember some comment to this effect from Miguel. Now that .Net Core looks awesome and will work with LLVM backend. Wouldn&#x27;t it just another step for MS to create what Xamarin&#x27;s core product is. I think Xamarin realized this and gave in. their IPO dream shattered.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;migueldeicaza&#x2F;status&#x2F;400665313119055872" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;migueldeicaza&#x2F;status&#x2F;400665313119055872</a>
