Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team
MajinBlayze@lemmy.world 2 months agoProbably simply that they are done with it (mono specifically, and possibly .net framework in the long run)

I would be extremely surprised if they are planning to abandon .NET

With ICAAN introduction of gTLDs now they can drop .NET and pick up .ONLINE

Well they said .NET Framework, and I also wouldn’t be surprised if they more or less wrapped that up - .NET Framework specifically means the old implementation of the CLR, and it’s been pretty much superseded by an implementation just called .NET, formerly known as .NET Core (definitely not confusing at all, thanks Microsoft). .NET Framework was only written for Windows, hence the need for Mono/Xamarin on other platforms. In contrast, .NET is cross-platform by default.
