It also sounds like the .NET languages. MS could easily provide a .NET run-time for Linux, but they won't (for obvious reasons).
There is .NET Core...
That shite is Linux only, nowhere near to the cross platforms of Mono (now also MS owned). FreeBSD tried to port it but failed miserably.
A - The comment to which I responded to was discussing Linux. My answer also addresses Linux, so saying "Linux only" is somewhat redundant.
B - .NET Core supports three platforms: Windows, Linux and MacOS
A. I said I hate that shite because apart from three major platforms it doesn't support anything other than that. From the BSDs user perspective isn't it 'Linux only'?
B. Three major platforms, it used to be only two but after the rise of Linux it becomes major. Windows, of course. Mac, for convenient. Linux, MS was forced, Linux is the server king.
