--------------------------------------------
These all sound good to me.
> Current state and future of .NET libraries ("csharp" and "netcore")?

> Key: THRIFT-4535
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4535
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Question
> Components: C# - Library, netcore - Library
> Reporter: Christian Weiss
> Priority: Major
>
> Hi,
> We are trying to use Thrift in one of our projects but we ran into some very
> fundamental issues:
> * The "csharp" project does not target ".NET Standard" and there's only a
> very old release on nuget.org ( if [https://www.nuget.org/packages/Thrift/]
> is the official one).
> * The "netcore" project does target ".NET Standard" but there's no release
> yet ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4512 ) and it also has a
> dependency on ASP.NET Core (
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4534 ) which makes it unusable
> in non-web projects.
> I'm wondering why there even are 2 separate projects for .NET? It's important
> to understand that ".NET Core" is not a new programming API - It's just a new
> platform - very similar to Silverlight, Mono, Windows Phone. This means that
> it would also be possible to support .NET Core and the new ".NET Standard"
> (which represents a common set of APIs for all platforms) with the existing
> "csharp" project.
> Was this a deliberate decision - e.g. to make the "netcore" code the official
> successor of the "csharp" code?
> Would you be interested in merging the code back into one library? I'd be
> willing to help if you want!
> It would be great to get one proper, up to date and official .NET library
> soon as there's already quite a lot of weird forks on NuGet.org:
> https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Thrift
