I have been tracking the projects on GitHub. Just wondering if anyone else
out there was also following it. Until it actually reaches 1.0 Release we
may not want to look at doing much. According to the direction In its
current state it does require a windows machine to build the corefx.
However the Corefx project shows it is currently still having problems
building on anything but windows. Hopefully that can be resolved. I have
been diving into the code but my c++ is a bit rusty. I am a .NET dev by day
and a FreeBSD at home. Wishing to combine the two worlds more.
