ServiceStack is one of the best pieces of software I have ever used and saved me from WCF/WSDL hell back many years ago. Just the breadth of detail in the release notes shows that Mythz puts a lot of thought and effort into designing features. I just wish instead of Aspnet core MVC they would have just made SS the web framework.
This is the first time in a while I've seen something that really gets me excited about software.
The promise of "run anywhere" has more or less been fulfilled by the web, but it leaves a lot to be desired: shared code is duplicated on every site, the only language available has... quirks to say the least, and performance is always an issue. This seems to solve a lot of these problems, while usable webAssembly is still a long way off (and doesn't resolve all the issues above).
I have seen lots of cool stuff from MS wither on the vine. Hopefully this does a little better.
Why is .net core not taking the world by storm ? Because most 'real .net devs' still work on .NET 4.x legacy windows apps.
Discussion of SharpScript 2 days ago, including some attempts at explaining its licensing:

TAForObvReasons: The actual Project repo https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack appears to be AGPL3 with some exceptions
mythz: The Exceptions are for OSS projects, where it can be used as the OSS license for that project. Regardless it's completely free to use for both commercial/non-commercial usage.
