This was outdated info on the website, I've updated the page. Generics are supported with FullAOT nowadays.

Xamarin isn't based on the .NET Framework. It is based on Mono which is in turn already consuming a lot of code from CoreFX (== .NET Core) and that share will only increase over ti…

There's https://github.com/dotnet/wcf which are the _client_ libraries of WCF for .NET Core. For the server side of WCF you're right those are only available on .NET Framework righ…

Xamarin is built on top of Mono. The same applies to Unity3D. We're sharing more and more code with .NET Core now so there's convergence happening but there are still pieces that a…

The .NET Standard spec has multiple _versions_, each of them adding more APIs: https://github.com/dotnet/standard/blob/master/docs/versions... It's true that .NET Standard 1.0-1.6 …

Great to hear that you're excited by it, we're too :) This blog post has a few more details and examples of the WebAssembly work: http://www.mono-project.com/news/2017/08/09/hello-…

I chuckled at this as well, so I filed an issue: https://github.com/ResearchKit/ResearchKit/issues/9 Should be fixed by now :)

I'd be interested in how you set it up, can you maybe share it somewhere? Guides like https://wprogramming.wordpress.com/2011/07/11/remote-pssessi... don't seem "fairly easy" to me…

Yes, but only if both PCs are in the same domain. Getting PowerShell remoting to work in other environments requires a lot of configuration.

PowerShell web access might be a good alternative: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2012/11/05/window...

Because it is a lot of work and takes time to integrate the pieces MS open sourced :) There are also a few cases where the code needs to be tweaked so it works correctly on Mono an…

No, it should run on the 4.5 profile just fine as backwards compatibility in the .NET APIs is very good. Please note that this is still a draft and the .NET 2.0/3.5 assemblies will…

I added a note to the page to make this clear. HN mods: can we get a "(draft)" note added to the submission title as well?

I just wanted to point out that there's nothing that inherently ties PowerShell to Windows (as expected, it's just a shell after all). > PowerShell provides direct access to [nearl…

There's already a PowerShell implementation for *nix: https://github.com/Pash-Project/Pash

One of those two is my fork and yes I did it to fix something, but edandersen's point was more geared towards a real fork (i.e. something that takes the project into a different di…
