System.Text.Json ships as part of the shared framework in recent versions of .NET so for most users it won't be restored from nuget.org

You can use the #readme anchor to link directly to the readme, e.g. https://github.com/ruby/ruby#readme
Quite useful when you want to point people directly at the description.

This was outdated info on the website, I've updated the page. Generics are supported with FullAOT nowadays.

Xamarin isn't based on the .NET Framework. It is based on Mono which is in turn already consuming a lot of code from CoreFX (== .NET Core) and that share will only increase over time.

There's https://github.com/dotnet/wcf which are the _client_ libraries of WCF for .NET Core.
For the server side of WCF you're right those are only available on .NET Framework right now.

Xamarin is built on top of Mono. The same applies to Unity3D.
We're sharing more and more code with .NET Core now so there's convergence happening but there are still pieces that are unique to us.

The .NET Standard spec has multiple _versions_, each of them adding more APIs: https://github.com/dotnet/standard/blob/master/docs/versions...
It's true that .NET Standard 1.0-1.6 had a lot of gaps but these should be rectified with 2.0 now so you shouldn't run into these problems anymore (otherwise there's usually a good reason why a method/API is missing from the standard).

There's a pretty interesting video of how the Office team uses C++ for their cross-platform efforts from CppCon 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HROqnw-nf4

I chuckled at this as well, so I filed an issue: https://github.com/ResearchKit/ResearchKit/issues/9
Should be fixed by now :)

I'd be interested in how you set it up, can you maybe share it somewhere?
Guides like https://wprogramming.wordpress.com/2011/07/11/remote-pssessi... don't seem "fairly easy" to me (that's why I said it requires a lot more configuration compared to Enter-PSSession when both parties are in the same domain).
