renewed interest

Maybe in the Hacker News bubble. Outside of that, things have been cruising along quite nicely for at least a decade.

It always seems odd to me that people are excited about .net coming to Linux or osx. Mono has been around for so long I can't remember when it showed up, 2001?

As far as I know mono's been feature complete for a decade or more.

.net core is neat, but for me it's a tooling thing and not a "we can write .net of Linux" thing

My company uses .NET mainly so it's nice to see these libraries. But from recent experience with several of them I am starting to be a little wary of .NET SDKs. It seems most .NET SDKs are either buggy, incomplete or have some other issues. It feels like you are a second class citizen with .NET.

I would prefer if I could call Java SDKs from .NET. These SDKs seem to be higher quality than most .NET SDKs.

C# is a great language and .NET is good but for the availability of 3rd party libraries I would probably go the Java route if I had to start from scratch.
