As I understand it, this paves the way for .NET based wasm implementations. Exciting stuff!

Although I personally don't think it's a good idea to build HTML UI's with C#, which adds overhead + friction.

Blazor currently runs on Mono. CoreRT might allow it to run on .net core

The important part is that it's AOT compiled into WASM so it can run in the browser which is what you can do now with Blazor.

no, blazor uses a Mono version that interprets at runtime .NET. AOT is in the pipeline though

Yep, seems like the Mono impl was more mature, you can read a bit more about this decision here https://github.com/aspnet/Blazor/issues/286#issuecomment-373...
