In the last 10 years I wouldn't have bet on C# to be the language to be the most excited about, and yet here we are. Kudos for dealing with fragmentation

It sounds like a good track to be on.

Isn't this a classic case of 927?

I hope 'new Microsoft' continues to embrace open source and cross-platform - I'm very impressed and never would have imagined this direction a decade ago, either

@runesoerensen: any plans to offer linux /.net core instances in AppHarbor (my favourite way to host .net apps by far!)?

Excited? Having just inherited a previously outsourced ASP.NET MVC application, I feel like announcements like this ammount to tiny, tentative steps towards tolerable. Portability work should have started over a decade ago.

Hopefully that should help clean up the messy .NET naming. Currently there's way to many .NET "packages". Microsoft seems to have run amok in splitting up .NET in minor components, and it has become to difficult to figure out how everything fits together. Unifying three big block in one common standard library is a great first move in cleaning up everything.

Now we just need to kill off one of the ASP.NETs.

They are going in the right direction but i feel like they still have a long way to go before people in the Linux/OSX world start taking C# seriously and we see actual products.
