Nice seeing things come up for dotnet core. I recently wrote a Sendy API client for dotnet core: https://github.com/NicoJuicy/SendyAPI.dotnet

And another API for a website screenshot server ( in nodejs --> https://github.com/NicoJuicy/WebsiteAsImageWebService ), but the connector is for dotnet core: https://github.com/NicoJuicy/WebsiteAsImageWebService.Api.Cs...

I wonder how much downloads you have per day if you put the library on Nuget immediatly

I am considering learning .net core, but I think my time would be better spent learning Elixir. Microsoft has a though battle ahead for itself.

Interesting. What is driving you towards Elixir?

I can already do most of what I would do with .net core with other languages, PHP, Python, Ruby. Elixir would allow for more scalability and a different paradigm. That sounds more useful than learning another language to just build monolithic sort of webapps. The only draw I guess is C#, love the language having used it a bit. But other than that, meh.

To celebrate the release of .Net Core, I wrote a slackbot that solves the most common use cases that I've come across.

Thank you for this. I was intending to write something similar in the next week or so and you've shaved off some time on that.

One comment - when the socket gets disconnected it will throw an exception and in the catch block the connect method is called again. Looks like this would cycle very quickly when no internet connection was available.

That is a great point. I'll add an issue to the repo now and get a fix in soon. Thank you for the suggestion!

Just closing the loop, here is the issue link: https://github.com/mattcbaker/dotnetcore-slackbot/issues/1

Nice. I built a trigger word driven one for mono not to long ago: https://github.com/tylerrichey/selfhosted-slackbot

I have a Slackbot built with Node that I use every day, and I've been looking for a way to move it out of JS (for various reasons). Thanks for this!

I hope it is useful! I'd love any feedback you have.

awesome! i'm digging all the cool stuff showing up on dotnet core now.

Agreed!
