title: .NET 5 and Mono
body: <p>.NET 5 is being touted as a complete unification of the .NET Core and the .NET Framework that will run on Mac, Windows and Linux.</p>
  <p>Mono is a reimplementation of the .NET Framework to allow .NET applications to run on Linux.</p>
  <p>As such, is it fair to assume that Mono will essentially become obsoleted and only needed for legacy applications once .NET 5 is widely used for new developments or are there some things that it would still be needed for?</p>
