There is a lot of promise in bringing Blazor goodness to WPF desktop apps. This would be a wonderful way to modernize WPF apps and share code better between web/desktop. 

After several years of development, MBrace 1.0 was released last week. MBrace is a programming model for scalable cloud data scripting and programming with F# and C#. The project consists mainly of code libraries and cloud providers runtime. 

Provide a better API for dealing with gems ,Create more transparent and accessible project pages ,Enable the community to improve and enhance the site
