Curious to see how this plays out with Microsoft investing in cross-platform development with .NET Core and .NET Standard.
The consequences of having multiple competing cross-platform options are already evident when using tools like intellisense in VS Code where you can (or used to be able to) switch between Mono and .NET Core runtimes and certain libraries were only compatible with one. And then there are build tools like Paket which currently only support Mono even though Paket itself can provision .NET Core runtimes.
