unicode support is fucking long overdue

it also features shortcuts and extensions

at least microsoft is apparently even trying now

They're also renaming .NET again

After they release .NET Core 3.0

It's going to be .NET 5.0

Unifying core and framework

i take that back what i said just before now

🤦

Well it's sensible

And it's 5.0 because 4.0 already exists

They're going to make mono and coreclr drop in replacements

There will be just one .NET going forward, and you will be able to use it to target Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, tvOS, watchOS and WebAssembly and more.

ahh yes the "one thing to replace versions"

just like windows 10 has no more versions

1707, 1806 what else the different version numbers are what change the thing completly <:thonk:288060975775612929>

microsoft_so_good.jpg

it doesn't replace versions

it's .NET 5.0

and after it comes 6.0

they're just unifying the core and full framework runtimes

and mono

did they say anything about backporting?

will I be able to run netfx 4.x on Linux?

no probably not

the way i'm reading it netfx will be completely replaced by coreclr

and coreclr will only be >net5?

coreclr will probably be backwards compatible with current .net standard

but not with netfx4

sad

also

Java interoperability will be available on all platforms

Objective-C and Swift interoperability will be supported on multiple operating systems.

<:kongoudisgust:570212220127019025>

CoreFX will be extended to support static compilation of .NET (ahead-of-time – AOT), smaller footprints and support for more operating systems
The default experience for most .NET 5 workloads will be using the JIT-based CoreCLR runtime. The two notable exceptions are iOS and client-side Blazor (web assembly) since both require ahead-of-time (AOT) native compilation.

I liked that we had one standard with many implementations

Net Standard had Mono, coreclr, netfx and unity

unity was mono too wasn't it

just a god awful old version

Now we have a standard with one implementation
