> Hi,
> We are trying to use Thrift in one of our projects but we ran into some very fundamental issues:
> * The "csharp" project does not target ".NET Standard" and there's only a very old release on nuget.org ( if [https://www.nuget.org/packages/Thrift/] is the official one).
> * The "netcore" project does target ".NET Standard" but there's no release yet ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4512 ) and it also has a dependency on ASP.NET Core ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4534 ) which makes it unusable in non-web projects.
> I'm wondering why there even are 2 separate projects for .NET? It's important to understand that ".NET Core" is not a new programming API - It's just a new platform - very similar to Silverlight, Mono, Windows Phone. This means that it would also be possible to support .NET Core and the new ".NET Standard" (which represents a common set of APIs for all platforms) with the existing "csharp" project.
> Was this a deliberate decision - e.g. to make the "netcore" code the official successor of the "csharp" code?
> Would you be interested in merging the code back into one library? I'd be willing to help if you want!
> It would be great to get one proper, up to date and official .NET library soon as there's already quite a lot of weird forks on NuGet.org: https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Thrift
