I am really interested to see what happens once ASP.Net is running on Linux. C# and Visual Studio are fantastic, mature tools and I think a lot of developers would enjoy using them whereas they might be hesitant at the moment due to OS lock-in on the code they are writing.
Could/Does Visual Studio run in Linux?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't think they are going to open-source legacy stuff that they want people to forget. .Net, ASP.NET, CLR -- all of it is technology they want to keep.
I wish. One of the projects I am currently working on, a greenfield application, requires WindowsForms for reasons I cannot expose here.
Quick link to what I think is the most interesting class in the CLR: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/src/mscorlib/s...
http://referencesource.microsoft.com/#mscorlib/system/string...
And they have Issues and Pull Requests turned on.
Interesting commit: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/commit/90ef39bc3c9886e7967... "This change fixes a potential problem in unwinding on Linux"
Interesting quote from README.md: "You can 'watch' the repo to see Linux and Mac support being added over the next few months."
MIT-licensed, even.
I wonder why they would do this. In fact, I don't see the benefit of MIT over Apache except for compatibility with GPLv2. But I'm definitely not an expert, if someone would want to explain.
I suppose this is important to Mono guys as mono is GPL AFAIK.

Not yet. MonoDevelop is the closest you'll get at the moment.
