Miguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉From twitter, the bloodbath continues.
Sean Murthy@Migueldeicaza just imagine what the Google version looks like.
Brian Grinter@smurthys @Migueldeicaza someone’s done the hard work for you

NeoNacho@Migueldeicaza is that good
@NeoNacho they keep breaking my heart over there. All my work flushed.
@Migueldeicaza all my apes gone
@NeoNacho Pretty much :-)

ezaquarii@Migueldeicaza @NeoNacho your #mono contributions living in #linux and #bsd worlds are more important than entire #microsoft product line combined.
@ezaquarii @NeoNacho I need to buy you dinner!
You are too kind.
Pär Björklund@Migueldeicaza win32 and winforms for life!
johanvos@Migueldeicaza I didn't know Xamarin was killed, why was that? (serious question)
@Migueldeicaza The thing is, I often refer to Xamarin when explaining people why it is relevant to have Java for Mobile.
If MS considers it important for MS-devs to write an app once and deploy it on all mobile platforms, the same should apply to Java.
Anyway, (business and marketing) reality is more complex. But Xamarin has been one of the reasons I kept working on Java on Mobile. Well, for more than 1 reason.

@johanvos Well, that is a bit of an incorrect image. A very hollow shell of Xamarin survives, the tooling for native work remains and some of it is folded into .NET, but as a fairly underfunded effort.
Xamarin.Forms was deprecated in favor of a major breaking change in the form of Maui.
@Migueldeicaza What about IIS, or ASP, or JScript! 😜
nvm. just noticed all of those were native UI frameworks. So many good ones!
Thibault D.@Migueldeicaza Thank you for sharing you thoughts, since you have some insights (and people still working att Xamarin/MAUI don't say much).
We re-wrote our app using MAUI during spring -23, released in august and only now are at parity with the Xamarin old app functionally.
I will soon start a new project for a clinical trial and considering switching to ReactNative because the app will probably have to need to be supported for 3-5years.
Your sentiment about this?

@ThibaultDu I sadly don’t work there anymore and don’t know what they are doing or planning.
@Migueldeicaza That I understood :) But I thought you may have a gut feeling about where things are headed :D
@Migueldeicaza Like, what is you gut feeling for MAUI still being around in 5years? Mine is 50/50
@ThibaultDu my major issue is they don’t support what I need, so I don’t bother with it
Dominic Hopton@Migueldeicaza they’re offing .net maui?
@grork they haven’t officially done it. Dotnetmeme seems to think it’s next
RAMZAY@Migueldeicaza …and .net Blazor is next door 👀
Laurent Sansonetti@Migueldeicaza The hard question... do you regret selling to MS?
@lrz It’s complicated. In the right hands, it would have been a glorious stack. But political maneuvering ended up destroying all of its value because professionals bozos are in charge.
John Thiriet@Migueldeicaza That's a painful choice even though I had the feeling it was coming.
