Hey Kevin,
Changed the title for this response.
My objection to the new title is that I think that people should
distinguish between PASE and the "native" virtual machine environment.
Although there are a number of relevant integration points, PASE and IBM i
should be viewed as separate, side-by-side operating environments. They
have significant differences.
Given that PASE is a subset of AIX, IBM generally suggests porting first to
AIX, then to PASE. Unfortunately, .Net Core is not supported on AIX, nor
any other Unix, if I understand correctly. One reference suggests that it
is only supported on Windows, Mac, and a handful of Linux distributions.

Actually, the differences between Unix, OS X, and Linux, are not that clear
to me. Frank Soltis suggests that there are only 4 server operating
environments in existence today, namely Z OS, IBM i, Windows, and *Nix.
If .Net Core were ever ported to PASE, I wonder from the perspective of a
system administrator, what additional effort that would entail in order to
support yet another language environment?
