tried to get into .net a few years ago and got lost. so many branches, so many targets, so many installs. drove me nuts. but the libraries and goals looked exciting suggestions - how to create hello world with .net in vscode for web / other targets - make that example work on osx/ win / linux

.net has always been associated with windows and windows only. if it can output to different targets and platforms that’s a game changer. will dig into this article next chance i get

What's the status of netstandard2.0 now? I realize some people are still stuck on Framework, but what's the percentage of that? As a lib developer, should I be putting in the effort to maintain that compatibility? I think at this point I'd much prefer to just move on to supporting newer versions.

But I don't know who they are. I have ~10M downloads on Nuget, and they're all anonymous. That leaves knowing stats on the overall ecosystem as the only way to make any kind of practical assessment.
