oh, hai! i made this. :D i really missed the old 2D spaces manager in mac and i also liked TotalSpaces but it's unsupported, requires the SIP hack, and gets more and more unstable everyday.
Meadow has F# support, but F# 5 broke us. :'(
Hoping to fix that soon. I <3 F#.
It's just a rework of the .NET MicroFramework, so it does not have Generics or any of the other new goodies post .NET v1.0 that are not compiler sugar.
Check out [Meadow](https://www.wildernesslabs.co/), though. Has both Generics and F# support. :)
FWIW, Meadow takes a different approach; we're working on AoT support right now, so it won't be interpreted.
It me! :)
It's worth noting that Meadow runs full .NET; so you get generics, and all the other modern goodies. Currently we support .NET Framework 4.7.2/.NET Standard 1.6, though we're working on Core3.x support.
Also, we support F# and VB.NET. We even ship templates for both. However, F# 5 broke our F# support. :'( :'(
Hoping to fix the F# support soon.
Thanks! We're in the middle of a big website refresh with more information.
Also, you can find the new developer site here: http://beta-developer.wildernesslabs.co/, which has the Meadow docs. We haven't pushed it to the main site yet because we're still missing a home page design. :)
Today, we're still Beta and it's interpreted, but we're working on Ahead of Time (AOT) compilation support right now!
No, Netduino is .NETMF only.
Mono, with .NET 4.7.2 actually gives you the .NET Standard 2.0 API surface area + other stuff. Eventually, the Mono and Core Runtimes will be merged and we'll switch over to that. It's all clear as mud; but the point is; we'll continue to be up to date.
We're running full .NET via Mono. NanoFramework is just a re-write of the .NET MicroFramework. That's basically .NET 1.1 from from almost 20 years ago. No generics or beyond.
Meadow is very different. Full .NET means Generics, LINQ, etc., and all the nugets. :)
