Sharing Saturday #459
I did get confirmation that the actual kill has been postponed to .Net 9.0 rather than .Net 8.0 . However, that PR is factually wrong regarding when System.Runtime.Serialization use became opt-in -- I had to counter-adjust Rogue Survivor Revived to opt into using System.Runtime.Serialization for .Net 7.0, last November i.e. Nov 2022.

Did anyone figure out a way to compile .NET Core with WPF on Linux?
Like this https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/blob/d0060335c1fb2f0523b1cf4656c464c5c4316783/src/Framework/NativeMethods.cs

[Copilot has] been a massive productivity improvement to our senior devs, and I got so used to it that it's an annoyance when Copilot doesn't respond.
Here is a taste of what to expect: https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild

Resources to learn the F# ecosystem
The main thing they do is to list projects so that you can open a solution and see a set of projects, or build a solution and build everything there. They also give a lot of customization and fortunately it's rare that you need to know anything about that. It does feel somewhat unnecessary since you should be able to open a project with its dependencies. Hopefully solution files are going to be cleaned up: https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/issues/1730

Build to order? Checking MSBuild for the second time
Since the previous check, the project has grown a lot. Our analyzer has become more advanced, too. This only makes this task more interesting! Despite the high quality of the MSBuild product and the well-known name of its creator, we again managed to find some issues in MSBuild's source code. The project is almost entirely written in C#. You can see it on GitHub. We took the code from this commit.

How can I compile a C# program with a different version of glibc?
msbuild is the "make" system, but for .Net. Those .csproj files are just makefiles by another name. Also, msbuild is not Windows-only. The readme specifically states that it can run on Unix (and Unix-like) systems that support .Net Core.
