Is Scalar really written in C#, doesn’t run on Linux, and is now part of the git codebase? I’m confused.

Why would you think it doesn't run on Linux, or that it's in C#?

EDIT: Ok, it used to be a .NET application (not any more), but .NET runs fine on Linux.

Yeah, I had searched github for it and saw Microsoft’s C# repo for it.

No, the article just mentions it started as C#.
