Okay, now this evokes some bad (because of Crowdstrike) memories... But using Mono in any recent years where the blessed way to do so is just using .NET is a big disservice to what the thing can do, and it requires you to really go out of your way to make a container that uses Mono over vanilla (Core)CLR.

Also, not liking what is now MIT FOSS stack does not make sense. It is the unified set of repositories going forward, with Mono currently serving exotic targets like WASM and being a part of dotnet/runtime. Completely not surprising for it is the most standard myopic response you usually hear from Linux communities (which, checks notes, are supposed to advocate for OSS?) the moment .NET is mentioned.




I appreciate you making me current, being more on the architecture side than software... I get very little exposure to these happenings.

I mostly glue existing stuff together, not make new stuff. My frustration with .NET is dated, really due to Mono.

I'm not sure how much to unpack here; my complaints are more with what I was given than anything philosophical
