Google has a similar one on their projects[0] that is used for checking for CLAs. Seems like something that might benefit from being built into GitHub.
Awesome to see rapid progress on this. Curious what people's thoughts are as to milestones to where you would trust CoreCLR (on Linux) for a production app.
Yeah im really looking forward being able to compile c# to native code and have things working well on Linux.
(ie what mono didnt really achieve, but that you can do on windows right now with a recent VS)
Even thus I know all the hype is on Go (and Go is great), C# is pretty sexy too.
I was at a talk maybe two weeks ago where the speaker demonstrated it crashing on `DateTime.Now` and another host remarked that the current implementation preallocated the entire GC heap and crashed when it ran out of space.
Maybe those issues have been fixed by now -- they seem to be making progress at an almost frenetic pace (which makes sense because Azure doesn't have a container strategy involving any part of the Microsoft stack at the moment).
Personally, I have hopes that it'll be ready to roll in about 10 months.
There is some amount of cross-pollination. Mono has been using library code that Microsoft has been open-sourcing, for a while now. However, the core VMs are and will remain separate, so they are very much different projects and will remain so.
The bottom line is that people will have a choice of two different .NET VMs on non-Windows OSes now.
