You may be right, I don't know. I suppose the acid test is when YC companies start posting for front-end developers with C#, .NET and UNIX experience versus what's required today, i.e. either node.js, django, ruby, etc.
- edgyswingset 11y agoWhy YC companies? There are lots of other startups out there (some of which even using .NET).
- technofiend 11y agoAh, great question. I sort of view the YC guys as cutting edge, i.e. willing and able to adopt new and sometimes still changing technology. In contrast to a Fortune 500 shop which in my humble opinion is unlikely to adopt a wholesale change to a new technology.
- serge2k 11y agoNo, the acid test is if the big companies that have invested heavily into java start to adopt .net in meaningful ways.
- johncolanduoni 11y agoWell, if they've got large existing Java codebases, I suspect the chance of the enterprise crowd investing in any new language is roughly zero.
