Relying on Microsoft’s .NET is not what a lot of us would want to do, especially when it comes to libre software.


To me .Net seems the most powerful thing to make a relatively esoteric language practically useful in the real life. Compiling to .Net gives a really solid ground for free. Compiling to JavaScript is a great option but the JavaScript landscape seems way less stable and this way harder to support.


But you have to rely on Mono or .NET Core for Linux which isn’t something many want to put on their servers or desktops.


Is there any legitimate reason to avoid having it?
