So, what does this mean for Unity3D? I'm tired of being limited to .Net(-sorta-ish) 3.5 and a stuttering garbage collector.
Unity has moved to IL2CPP so not sure a hell of a lot.
Now only if .NET adoption on Linux would pick back up like when Mono was pushing it. .NET is a great environment for developing desktop applications and Linux really needs them.

See their older blogpost here: http://blogs.unity3d.com/2016/04/01/unity-joins-the-net-foun... "For Unity developers, this means making sure the latest .NET APIs, tools, and language features are available to you." – Support for C# 6 – Upgrade Mono Runtime and Class Libraries etc...
This is great news! Last time I used it (more than a year ago) it was still felt quite buggy. That being said, has anyone successfully used Xamarin or have an example of a large and successful app built with it?

Why do you link to gitter when you should actually like to the repos instead ?
Depends on how you learn. Some learn by being around others, social interaction, asking questions and absorbing knowledge. It's clear you fall into the latter category which likes to learn by diving right into the code, so here it is: .NET CLR Managed Runtime - https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr .NET Framework - https://github.com/dotnet/corefx .NET Compiler as a Service ("Roslyn") - https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn .…
Ok, so is there anything NOT being open sourced? Is everything needed to actually be able to use it productively open source now? Is Xamarin Studio open source?
No, Xamarin Studio is not getting open sourced. For more details, you can listen to this podcast from founders of Xamarin - http://www.dotnetrocks.com/?show=1276

GTK# could use some serious love, as much as I enjoy Vala I would much prefer to be able to use Npgsql for database access than deal with the crapshoot that is libgda. Unfortunately after the GTK3 transition it seems nobody has really felt like maintaining GTK# much, meanwhile plain old C and Vala have been getting all the cool stuff (GTK composite templates, in particular).
It's me not Vala. I enjoyed proper tooling: SCM (e.g.: maven), test automation (unit-test framework), some form of IDE.

There's a list with some more companies here: https://www.xamarin.com/customers

Is it possible to use it without it?
