A Decade Later, .NET Developers Still Fear Being 'Silverlighted' by Microsoft -- Visual Studio Magazine

• ASP.NET Core

  1,633 34,396 9.9 C#

  ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform .NET framework for building modern cloud-based web applications on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

  

This is a silly thought. The development of .Net 6, asp.net core, blazor, and MAUI demonstrate the committment of MS. These technologies aren't going anywhere anytime soon. They're already really good and they're just in preview. They are so far beyond silver light, and they're cross platform. The performance and feature set is much better too.

• IronPython

  7 2,383 7.2 Python

  Implementation of Python 3.x for .NET Framework that is built on top of the Dynamic Language Runtime.

  

I mean, there is active work on the repo for it. They even just released a new alpha version yesterday for Python 3.4 support.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• PeachPie

  11 2,283 7.0 C#

  PeachPie - the PHP compiler and runtime for .NET and .NET Core

  

For IronPython's case there are interested parties, but it's not as large so you don't hear much about them. Same goes for the more niche stuff like peachpie where it's pretty active (dev-wise) but there's not much talk about it as there isn't as much community interest on following the project.
