The Journey to One .NET with .NET 5 / 6
summary
.NET consolidates runtimes and toolchains into one SDK and promises a yearly November cadence (.NET 5 launches Nov 10) with LTS lines; benchmarks claim sockets +30% on Linux, JSON +20% and large-object serialization up to 3x faster, and growth numbers cite ~1.5M new .NET Core devs since 2017 and 5M VS users. Demos show Blazor WebAssembly running C# in‑browser with cross‑boundary debugging, single‑file publish trimmed down from ~71MB to ~20–29MB, and Project Tye running multi‑service apps with Redis/SQL via containers locally.
