can we talk about them sliding interoperability with java in there as a loving cliff note

unless I'm misreading it, it's already something supported through Mono. so the idea is that it'll be supported within .NET Core too. but it's not a new thing.

It's hard to get too excited about java interop in 2019 but maybe when people ask how to make a cross platform gui in .dotnet core we can tell them to use javafx now.

one .NET exists because MSFT employees are too afraid to admit mono does better at some things and didn't want to use it in their projects

Neither of those is cross platform. Also I'm not that fond of WPF.

it seems like maybe they're making them cross platform? or maybe they're just making them run on windows on .net core which I guess why is that even an issue?

It's the latter. .net core was originally focused more on cross platform server type stuff I guess, so they didn't bother with some of this desktop stuff until they decided .net core would be completely replacing .net framework.

Maybe it has to do with Microsoft's internal politics, too.

WPF is also ancient at this point. If Microsoft hadn't wasted all its time getting locked in some sort of stupid internal fight over desktop vs UWP, there's no way it wouldn't have been replaced by now.

all that effort reimplementing the Linux ABI from scratch just thrown away

I wonder if they'll rip out the picokernel stuff, too

pretty sure the history of the picoprocess stuff actually predates wsl by some margin, being something they were fiddling with for weird azure/iot usecases, so i expect it'll stick. they are also not getting rid of the original way of running wsl, as it is a lot more lightweight for single processes (and since it interfaces with very well-defined syscall interfaces on both sides the maintenance effort should be pretty close to zero)

all very exciting either way, i do love wsl.

it's a modernised alternative to conhost.exe, which is used for all the windows command line poo poo (cmd, powershell etc.). conhost will apparently still be used if you run cmd.exe, powershell.exe etc. directly, to avoid breaking pre-existing setups while they do their wacky new ui stuff

(incidentally, the source code to conhost is included with the windows terminal source code on github)

gave it a go and it built. had to install the .net 4 and 4.5 target and atl beyond what is default in the vs 2017 build tools c++ profile, and the readme has you build all targets (e.g. crosscompile arm64) so go 'MSBuild OpenConsole.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x64' to not need every dependency on earth.

while the new terminal seems pretty neat i would suggest not bothering trying to build it unless very curious though, hardly a large leap forward.

while the new terminal seems pretty neat i would suggest not bothering trying to build it unless very curious though, hardly a large leap forward.

it would build fine for me but deploying the solution would fail but I figured out my problem was that i wasn't a windows insider. i tried to do that once but it failed and i assumed it was cause they were blocking me. this time it worked, but also i recently joined some internal beta tester thing, so maybe i'm in some security group that allows windows insider or maybe something else was wrong before, i'll never be able to know :iiam:

but once i did the windows insder and changed to some other version of windows, it all worked.

and yeah it wasn't worth all that, but my biggest complaint from now having to use windows now is how bad both the default terminal is and comemu/cmder are, so I really had high hopes for this. it's still a ways off from being released for real so maybe it'll get cool
