Comment Comment by bnchrch Question to HN .NET DevsIts been a long time since I was in the MSFT ecosystem (left just as wsl was getting popular).I remember thinking C#, F#, .NET and LINQ was a pretty robust set of tooling that was ahead of its time and certainly ahead of Java.At the time, the things that were holding it back was:- Poor to non existant linux support- A confusing labyrinth of MSFT web frameworks that were nonsensically named and often deprecated- A very GUI heavy dev and production setupI know a lot has changed since then. So how is it in 2025? parent bnchrch 11 months ago
Its been a long time since I was in the MSFT ecosystem (left just as wsl was getting popular).
I remember thinking C#, F#, .NET and LINQ was a pretty robust set of tooling that was ahead of its time and certainly ahead of Java.
At the time, the things that were holding it back was:
- Poor to non existant linux support
- A confusing labyrinth of MSFT web frameworks that were nonsensically named and often deprecated
- A very GUI heavy dev and production setup
I know a lot has changed since then. So how is it in 2025?
