Ask HN: Do you think we will ever see VS on linux?

3 pointsby kiloreuxabout 9 years ago
Following the recent development of events at MSFT, am I too dreamy to want VS on linux ?

Too early to say, but unlikely in my opinion. I expect VS code to continue to gain features and language support, one day we might even see a R# plugins for it but I don't expect it to bring Windows heavy features like WPF/xaml and Winforms across. Apparently C# and F# story on VS code is already pretty solid for server side apps

Visual Studio is written in C++ and C# and expects the Win32 API. Moving that to Linux would be a massive, many year project even for Microsoft. Will never happen. Instead something new like Visual Studio Code that is cross platform is more likely to continue development.
