Christian Weiss commented on THRIFT-4535:
-----------------------------------------

No worries. I'm not judging anyone and I apologize as well, if I made anyone 
feel that way. Communication in written-only form in a foreign language is not 
always easy. I only tried to analyze and understand the current code base. I've 
also not demanded anything from you or complained about anything - I have 
instead offered to create a PR.
{quote}Even after having looked at the code, I do not really understand that if 
you've never intended to deprecate one.

Maybe I should clarify this statement. I wrote this because both code bases use 
the same PackageId so it currently isn't possible to release both versions 
separately on nuget.org. This was a clear indication for me, as being new to 
this project, that one of them has to be "newer" and is meant to replace the 
other. 

Anyway, back to what can/should be done. Both of you have said that it makes 
sense to have just one code base so it seems like we're all on the same side. :)

The currently open PR is just code cleanup - there's projects that like this 
kind of PRs and there's projects that don't. Feel free to close it, if you 
think it's better to not fix tabs/spaces etc in existing files. I was doing 
that because I had to go through the code base anyway to understand it. 

My next PR would be an attempt to create a project file with the new format 
that supports multiple platforms with as few changes as possible.

> 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
