mono wasn't a microsoft thing, though it was a .NET Foundation thing
mono wasn't a microsoft thing, though
it was a .NET Foundation thing
it was a .NET Foundation thing
Twhich maybe used to be a microsoft thing, but is now a standalone entity
Ahopefully they continue to upkeep mono though, i plan to use it heavily in my game. (yes, my C# game. seriously)
Tif i understand it all correctly
Twhat why 
Anice to see it moving to wine
Pmono was a community project that has passed hands. was Ximian, then Novell, then Xamarin, then Microsoft, then .NET Foundation with MS employed devs
Aneed runtime code execution, and that doesn't work with nativeaot. so i either write my own language, or use mono + ironpython to get python support with sandboxing
Toh dear
Ti see...
PSwift has been moved out of Apple into the Swift Foundation though, but there's not really an apt comparison given that there's no real equivalent project at Apple
Tsheesh
Kgod i still remember when mono was a small community project that people didnt really actively support
Kbut then again back in those days we still thought remoting was cool so like
GRemoting? like teamviewer?
Kno
Kremoting as in a system that automatically let you share object instances between processes
Guhhhh
Gyeah that sounds like hell
Gdefinitely cool & neat but sounds hellish to actually use
Kalso between appdomains
G:aPES_WideEyes:
Kwhich i dont have the energy to explain lol
Kit worked by automatically generating proxies and doing marshalling and i think the wire protocol was SOAP?
Kif youve ever seen MarshalByRefObject in dotnet that was the base class that signalled a thing should get remoted
Kremoting was superseded by WCF in dotnet framework 3.0 in 2006
Knot dotnet core 3.0 mind
Kframework 3.0
Goh i know
Kthat was also when WPF was introduced
Gi miss netcore3 :sadAngry:
Kjava RMI is the same thing as dotnet remoting if you know that
Kexcept java instead of dotnet
Gif i had to guess, remote memory interface?
Kremote method invocation
G:hmmmmm:
KRPC is the modern version of all these things
KRPC just takes the approach of lets make a standard that isnt tied to the internal implementation of a framework/runtime lmao
Kin dotnet remoting the official way to do access control was by using IIS to host the remotable object
GHELL
Kidk if java RMI ever actually had access control
Kit was hell and objectively awful but we all thought it was great at the time for some reason
Kthis predates the prevalence of REST apis being like a common thing that people made and did fwiw
Kthats what really superseded it tbh
SDawg. I'm starting to dislike rider a lot...
CWhy?
SIt tries to be too smart. and for some reason, tabbing autocompletions replaces the entire class name when writing a modifier.
Tsandboxing as in appdomains? what's the point?
Tdoes ironpython on mono do anything better than netcore?
AExecuting user generated code. Mono seems to have a decent sandbox so I'd like to experiment with it
AIt very much is a workaround but regular python literally cannot be sandboxed at all
