Re: MSBuild is going cross-platform with .NET Core
#2The talk about first-class support for packages and dependency comprehension is interesting. At a minimum, having a native NuGet task - or have it be default behavior of the MSBuild task - vs. having to run restore/install via Exec would be very nice.
MSBuild is not a great tool, but it's not awful either. I would not be depressed or angry at having to use it to build something on Linux.

#3I know MSBuild gets a lot of hate but this is still great news. The end goal of having a .Net project be compile-able on Windows, Linux and Mac is going to be awesome. I'm curious, when everything is finally done, what the adoption rates will be like. Will hard-core Linux users who used Java migrate when it makes sense? Will they avoid it because "M$"?
All good stuff.

.NET was already somewhat popular on Linux for GTK apps. I don't know if you're going to see adoption for web servers unless it can be competitive with Java in performance, which I don't think Mono has traditionally been.

#6This is good news but little bit too late. Microsoft strategy of sticking with windows to slow down Linux and Mac back fired . If they opened up .Net few years back cross platform app development landscape would have been totally different today.

The Mono framework[1] has been pretty popular in some circles for years now, so I imagine a decent amount of adoption can be expected once .Net Core proves stable.

Seconded. Performance is the main thing holding me back.
I'm very excited about C# and other .NET languages for server applications, and would like to make it my primary server side environment, but am waiting for three things:
1) A production ready compiler and runtime on Linux (coming) 2) Tooling to support the new .NET project structures and dependency management (coming, it seems) 3) A production ready server solution with reasonable performance. On Mono, .NET Linux server apps consistently score near the bottom of benchmarks, essentially ruling it out. (Who knows? It seems too early to know whether this will happen.)

It will be very nice to be able to do CI/compilation on extremely cheap and fast (to spin up) linux slaves as opposed to requiring an expensive (license, hardware) and slow (miserably slow ec2 boots) Windows servers.

Anyone who does not like MS because of the $ cannot at the same time like Java.
