i asked myself if TinyCLR OS will support the Thread network protocol in the near future?
and found this more than 2 years old forum discussion
Any possibility to have Thread as part of the wi-fi stack?
It would be fantastic to have the Thread, since it is becoming the de facto standard for wireless sensing/control
this is still the last word in wisdom?
seems meanwhile supported from all smart home and iot big players
Thread is an IPv6-based, low-power mesh networking technology for Internet of things (IoT) products. The Thread protocol specification is available at no cost; however, this requires agreement and continued adherence to an End-User License Agreement (EULA), which states that "Membership in Thread Group is necessary to implement, practice, and ship Thread technology and Thread Group specifications."

we decided to go with esp32+nano framework for our mcu/wireless based devices and RPi CM4 +.net core for more powerful options. turned out to be a good bet. esp32 now supports thread natively with the h2 chips
Something to watch for is Wi-Fi HaLow looks very promising.

You can check for managed OpenThread library for nF and .Net Core. GitHub - openthreaddotnet/nanoFramework.OpenThread: 6lowpan OpenThread library for .Net nanoFramework
But as mentioned above, there is upcoming esp-idf version 4.4 with native support of Thread protocol for single and two chip solutions.
