"These things are changing,"

There is still no end to end story for dev on Linux/Mac with MS backed tools (Mono is not .NET).

"and I think that will be the end (finally) of Java."

just day after Google will take C# as main dev lang for Android...

IMHO It's more likely that Dart will become new Android's main lang.

Actually, MS recently open-sourced the .NET framework (".NET Core") and announced they will be adding support for Linux and Mac OS X: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx

...seriously. April the first is still 5 days away.

"Actually, MS recently open-sourced the .NET framework (".NET Core")"

I know that. My point is you go to dartlang.org and get the IDE with SDK with single download for Mac, Linux or Windows and use it now.

With .NET you can't do the same now on non-Windows (you can use Mono but it's not MS project) Dart is designed to do webdev and .NET isn't
