It's also good to point out that .NET Core (effectively a subset of the .NET Framework) and Roslyn (C# compiler) are open source on GitHub. See: https://github.com/dotnet and http://dotnet.github.io I'm a .NET team member at Microsoft.

Correct me if I am wrong, but is seems like you can now compile and run Hello World on Ubuntu without needing a Windows PC (which I remember was needed at some step before)?

Yes, that's correct.

Any chance for previous versions? Namely .NET 4.0.

A lot of code should just work, some will require a rebuild under the new environment... I don't think I've had many problems moving forward at any given point. I've been using C#/.Net since some of the early previews. Though, these days most of my time is spent with node.js, and I've been following rust and go with some interest.

I mean any chance of viewing source files for .NET 4.0.

I don't think sourceof.net has previous versions, but it's quite easy to just open any assembly on ILSpy.

You won't get comments, but you can read the code very clearly.

I had to do this a few times in the early 1.x/2.x days as I needed to understand some of the internals for functionality I wanted/needed... as a cheat. Since 4, it's been really good, but I'm doing far more node these days. Sometimes I do miss it, but usually not so much.
