    In a so-far unimaginable move, Microsoft just announced that Visual Studio and .NET are going open source. 😲

    Yep. It's not April Fools.

    Key Takeaways from the announcement :

    1. Open source .NET will be expanded to run on Linux and Mac OS X.
    2. Visual Studio 2015 Preview and .NET 2015 Preview is now out.
    3. Visual Studio 2015 now supports complete cross-platform mobile app development.
    (C#, C++ and HTML/JavaScript development targeting iOS, Android, Windows and more)
    4. The full server-side .NET Core stack will be open-sourced, including ASP.NET 5, the Common Language Runtime and Base Class Libraries.

    This is how Microsoft has chosen to embrace its rivals. How do you envision the future hereafter? If you are a .NET developer, this impacts you. Would love to read comments from developers here.
