Everyone will know this in 2 days of course, but Microsoft has finally bought Xamarin <https://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/welcoming-the-xamarin-team-to-microsoft> .
Just who (employees, developers) from the company will transition across to MS is not clear. There are some interesting comments to this post; not unexpectedly, reflecting (for one example) Greg Keogh's reticence in adopting it at its cost for effective development by in dependent developers. And its efficacy. It's not clear how it will be made available to the levels of Visual Studio licensing (cost), but it seems more than sensible to me to make it available at a modest subscription cost - perhaps not with Community Edition.
