Microsoft just announced that .NET Core will be open source, including the runtime as well as the framework libraries. .NET Core is a modular development stack that is the foundation of all future .NET platforms It’s already used by ASP.NET 5 and .NET Native. As a .NET developer one was able to build & run code on more than just Windows for a while now, including Linux, MacOS, iOs and Android, however the code base was different on different platforms. The best way to build a cross-platform stack is to build a single stack, in a collaborative manner, and the best way to do exactly that is by open sourcing it.
