We have a Prism-based WPF application with over 10 man years of development invested in it.

We are moving big chunks of it into web browser control hosted modules to make it platform independent in the future.

There seems to be no UI framework to take over XAML in .NET Core.

Would it be possible to port it into .NET Core in the future?

It's looking like WPF or at the very least XAML will become part of .NET Standard 2.0 roughly Q1 2017 / Q2 2017
