Understandable, but still a little disappointing. If this OSS initiative is worth anything, the platforms need to be at parity for features and release.

This is a pretty Mono-focused article so I don't really think it's relevant to the recent release of VS 2015.

I'm currently working on Roslyn CoreCLR and cross-plat and Mono is working on integrating more of Roslyn into their stuff, but I don't think the two are necessarily connected, so I wouldn't strictly describe the two as duals.

You're building on CoreCLR without depending on Mono? That's awesome, do you have a link to how to get that set up and working?

Currently you could run coreclr apps on Linux / Mac, you just can't pull the dependencies without mono, since CoreCLR for Mac / Linux still misses NuGet mechanisms

Note: Only works on Windows right now, going to get to Linux/Mac ASAP :)

'Only works on windows right now' is the problem. :P

It may actually work on *nix, I just haven't tried it. The powershell script won't run and you'll have to do it manually, but it's just a ten line script or so.

Ummm... Should I refer you back to my original post? ;)

You don't seem to understand the difference between building on coreclr and building on *nix. You asked about coreclr, I answered :)

Did you read our comment thread? I'm complaining that there isn't parity for the dotNet/Roslyn development. You reply that you're working currently on CoreCLR as a response to this, so I asked for where I can do this. You state, it's not at parity. I jokingly refer you back to my original comment, and you glibly try to insult me? What the hell dude?

Sorry if that came across as insulting, I didn't mean it that way.

That's supposed to be coming with Beta 7, in just over a month.
