Mono's New .NET Interpreter

Re:Mono's New .NET Interpreter by jetti on Monday November 13, 2017 @11:45AM (#15687768)

Until .NET Core starts supporting GUI frameworks there will always be a use case for Mono. I can get up and running with GTK# relatively quickly for a cross-platform desktop application using Mono when that isn't the case for .NET Core. That being said, if I were to build a web app I would definitely go with Core over Mono.

There is nothing preventing these GUI frameworks from working on .NET Core. They might need some work to support it but its entirely possible.

Avalonia is in alpha right now and I would not trust a production desktop application with an alpha GUI toolkit. It is entirely possible to get frameworks like GTK# working on .NET Core but the problem is who is going to do that?

The last time I looked, GTK# wasn't a good experience for Windows users as it has to be installed separately - has this changed?
