Xogot – Godot for iPad

This is a project of Miguel de Icaza https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_de_Icaza

Yep, he switched focus after how everything went with Xamarin post acquisition, seems pretty much done with anything .NET.

He worked on Mono for nearly two decades, and contributed significantly to the platform. He may have stopped working on it because the platform is quite mature (and Open Source) and his continued work would have limited impact.

Here a couple of examples,

Or its beloved Xamarin,

" Rewrites never go as planned.

Xamarin.Forms turning into Maui was supposed to be a quick change, fueled by hopium so strong it defied gravity.

Instead, at best, it set it back 2-3 years."

You will find other juicy remarks, after the deadline to not speak about the acquisition expired.

Never attribute to respect or sincerity that which can be adequately explained by contractual terms.

I still use .net :-)

But this port could not have been done with Xamarin due to the lack of SwiftUI integration.

Fair enough, happy to be corrected on the matter.

I would love to hear more. Always been a big fan of Miguel and his positive stance towards mending fences with MS. Sad to hear transitioning to the mother ship didn't work out.
