Wow, they’re still treating .NET as a second class citizen?? That’s one of the biggest reasons I jumped off the MS boat.

At least Apple is going all-in on Swift and actually using their latest tech in core parts of their OSes (unlike MS and things like WPF etc.)

Well you can’t expect Microsoft to rewrite all their software in the framework of the week, right?

That would be stupid. /s?

They could have an official .NET wrapper for DirectX, but then it's not "direct" :) anymore.

Of course then the next question is whether it works on Mac/Linux/... in dotnet.core

which is in conflict with their inner lockin tendency
