The whole .NET platform seems like it was inspired by the JVM but they seem to have missed the lessons on cross-platform compatibility, at least until recently. If Microsoft had pushed harder while the Java platform was floundering in the ~2006-2014 years, maybe they could have taken a lot of mindshare (hard to tell Java was going to have a bad 10 years or so, though).

05/06/2019, 10:47 PMWill be making the prediction that Kotlin will have a elegant multi-platform interop system (static lib API style) between all the Kotlin platforms (JVM, Android, Native, and JS), which is low maintenance, explicit/easy to troubleshoot, easy to use, and provides good performance. Don't think that .NET would have something similar to what I have described.
