#2Nice work. It will be great to use ASP.NET Core on a Pi with official support.
I tried .NET out on the Pi using Mono, years ago when it was relatively new but after the software floating point OS was deprecated. The weird hardware floating point CPU made it pretty much unusable. Even simple things like DateTime objects would fail to work correctly.
Similar issues were in Java IIRC but they had a special build of that. I think Sony had a fixed build of Mono but I haven't tried it. It will be good to have official .NET support outside of Win 10 IoT.

#3This is a major step forwards. Having .NET on ARM is one of the most important milestones imho.

Interesting, imho Java makes no guarantees about FP portability if you don't enforce it with the strictfp keyword, you'd get 80bit on x87 and 64bit on other architectures.
Why would this cause failing tests though? Does that mean they relied on extended precision?

It was already there, but not the main version.
.NET Compact and Micro had ARM versions.
There is also an Arduino (AVR) that uses .NET Micro as their OS.

#6Great work. Can't help but notice most of the contributors in this issue are Samsung Electronics employees. Interesting to see Samsung in the .net world!

Exactly :)! For the Arduino you are potentially referring to the Netduino, which allows you to write applications targeting the .NET Micro Framework.

You can build Tizen apps in .Net now I imagine they're working to improve compatibility across all Tizen devices. Samsung is also now a member of the .Net foundation

#10Other companies should be paying attention to Microsoft's PR department here. They've done really well at timing these kinds of announcements over the past several months, repeatedly getting their name on the front pages of places like Reddit and HN a few days after the last announcement fades away.
