• The search for easier safe systems programming

  WPF is not the best example of open source, as some components are still closed source. Though it only runs on Windows, a closed source operating system, so perhaps that is not so important. https://github.com/dotnet/wpf/issues/2554. - Source: Hacker News / 23 days ago

• .NET on Linux: What a Contrast

  Yes, but the portable GUI frameworks by Microsoft themselves are generally not very good, and they tend to be abandoned after a couple of years. Avalonia is developed outside of the Microsoft corporate madness and seems to be slowly becoming the defacto cross-platform framework because it is expected to last a bit longer than a manager's attention span: https://avaloniaui.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Can I create Windows Form with my Mac M1?

  Sorry but that’s one of the things it’s can’t do. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/mac/. If you scroll to the bottom that page they compare vs for Mac with the windows version so you can see how they compare. Source: 11 months ago

• Error message in terminal

  Your code looks right I guess (been a long time since I've done C lol) so probably this means something in the build chain is broken. If this is "Visual Studio for Mac" then I think you're out of luck, as far as I can tell VS does not support C/C++ on Mac according to https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/mac/ (VS supports C via its C++ compiler, MSVC, which is not ported to Mac).
