Explaining .NET Standard Like I'm Five

I have exactly zero faith that they won't abandon this in a few years and come out with something that does the same thing in a different and incompatible way. Their mode of operation seems to never stick to something but instead replace it with something similar. The only reliable entities are Win32 and the .NET framework. .NET Core, Standard, UWP and whatever are just short lived experiments.

I can dig out examples for Apple and Google as well.

All big corporations are like that.

I can see .Net core eventually covering everything in framework other than windows specific bits, and desktop UI.

UWP, Xaml, and Mono could then become libraries as expansion on .Net core.

IIRC, .NET on UWP apps already are using .NET Core inside, at least if they are using the .NET Native toolset which is built on/from .NET Core.

That doesn't help anyone that thinks UWP itself is a "fad" (as in the GP comment) think .NET Core might not be a fad too, but UWP seems to be here to stay despite how many ancient developers seem to have "Win32 or Die" tattoos.
