What's curious, is that the PR that introduces this change is the only PR on the repo that has discussion limited to collaborators only: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/pull/22217
I can imagine doing such a thing to cut off inevitable noise.
Have any other open source / free software packages locked down a PR?
Un-editorialized title: “Update on .NET Hot Reload progress and Visual Studio 2022 Highlights”
Editorialized headline, but it is disappointing. The feature is misnamed since it's a VS feature and not a feature for the entire .NET ecosystem (including VS Code).
The "Unsupported Scenarios" is interesting, is this a sign Xamarin and F# are on the way out?
F# compiler architecture might simply not be suitable. It started as a research project, and its code quality shows that. I don't think Visual Studio ever supported edit-and-continue for F#. Live reload seems to be an upgraded version of that feature.
Xamarin is being subsumed and F# just got a new version with stuff to make it easier on beginners, so I doubt they will drop it anytime soon.
