They actually did it. They open-sourced it. MIT license.

WPF open-sourced
Ryan Cruz
Lincoln Cruz
What is this and how will it help me rice my Gentoo system further?
Noah Lewis
Looks like a glorified XML parser to me
Christian Howard
Still chained to Windows graphics subsystem.
Now MS own electron maybe changes electron to .Net Core runtime, TypeScript language and new GUI.
Asher Rodriguez
not cross-platform. no fucks given.
Austin Long
You're mistaken about the sheer power levels of autistic retards. They'll hack in OpenGL support within weeks, if not days.
Benjamin Long
hahaha linux shills are going to be mad. I anticipate a hard day for em.
Austin Nelson
They are opensourcing it so that autists can port it to linux for free.
Anthony Gutierrez
That means someone can make windows 10 use WinForms?
Isaac Moore
How will this help wine?
Ayden Allen
The fuck is wpf?
Jordan Johnson
>open sourced 15 year old crap that isn't really relevant any more
Based microsoft!
Joshua Richardson
WTF is a WPF?
Brody Thompson
>tfw still rely mostly on GDI
Ethan Perry
GDI i don't understand WPF this thread is about
Carson Gonzalez
Not happening.
Aiden Harris
That's nice. Although Avalonia exists already, but maybe it will help them.
t. someone who likes wpf
John Gray
But those will only whine and bitch (like they do it all the time)
Juan King
Windows Presentation foundation. The thing that should have killed off Windows Forms, but doesn't, because all teachers only know Forms.
Benjamin Sanchez
Daaamn
Qt GET FUCKED
GTK GET FUCKED
WE MVVM NOW
Landon Parker
is Microsoft slowly going full open source?
I mean vscode, .net core ,sql server, now wpf?
Anthony Scott
came here.to say this
Isaiah Reed
mvvm master race. it will feel like 2008 once again, relay commands, dispatch invokers and xaml, oh xaml
Noah Perry
WPF is never going to be cross platform so it's useless to me.
Austin Long
And because it's not that good.
Henry Wilson
This is good, once it gets ported over it will be easier to make cross platform app in .net core with wpf and windows forms.
Jayden Watson
The final brick in the .net core foundation.
James Torres
It will never get ported you idiot.
Brody Sullivan
If they can integrate it to wine-mono. I doubt anyone will work on it though
Caleb Foster
first things first
multiple UI render threads = battlestation software
Jonathan Butler
Not even two weeks ago I asked on the ASP .NET forums whether there was anything on the radar for something like Blazor (aka XML in WPF) for NET Core on the desktop and they said no
then this happens
Xavier Jones
github.com
It won't happen.
Brandon Butler
Even if it did nobody would use it because people are too lazy. Nobody uses JavaFX(TornadoFX even though it is 100x superior to Electron.
Jaxson Hughes
>look up tornadofx
>imperatively define components
>into the trash.jpg
Declarative or bust. There's a reason why WPF enjoyed some popularity.
Alexander Hall
I can hope maybe they open source the zune next. That would be cool.
Angel White
if you paired it with code from Wine, you'd have something
but I doubt anyone's gonna bother
WinForms is just really pleasant.
like, WinForms is basically the oldschool VB model, but with a real programming language behind it instead of VB
