@pjmlp, thoughts?

Nothing is new, I have mentioned multiple times that Microsoft management undoes the great work from .NET team.

Also as polyglot developer, while I happen to have my preferences in regards to technology, I am not married with any of them.

Being MVP, Champion, or whatever program each megacorp happens to have, was never something I saw value in.

Never make a specific technology, or company, part of your identity as person.

I'm only pinging you because I think a couple of days (or weeks, even) ago you or someone else mentioned it is open source (?), so I was wondering what's going on.

It is licensed as such, with some gaps versus .NET Framework and VS features.

Hmm, okay. In any case I have a lot of misconceptions about .NET, TBH.

.NET is open source and people working on it go into great lengths to ensure it is a good citizen to open-source projects and communities. It has been open source for almost 10 years damn it. All in all what other divisions or teams do is greatly unfortunate because it will get associated with the aforementioned. Personally, this annoys me because other languages like Go or Swift do not receive the same criticism for the bad practices their respective companies engage in. Go in particular.

Do these links have much if any merit? I would have to re-check their claims though.

As I said, I have misconceptions of .NET, so it is always useful to get to the bottom of it.
