I agree on the "about 7 years too late". But you're leaving out an important new development that is making .Net relevant again, namely that the three major cloud computing companies are supporting C# for their "serverless" cloud computing.
- lmickh 10y agoHow does support for some function services translate to "making .Net relevant again"? In all of the talk I've seen regarding recent changes of .Net Core/Standard, serveless has never come up. Most people are not in the .Net space because of what it can do without the frameworks they are use to using if they re-write their code.
- intrasight 10y agoBecause there is an audience, and I think that it is growing, for "serverless" server-side platforms feeding SPAs. Apps that outgrow Firebase have somewhere to go with AWS Lambda and Azure Functions. >Most people are not in the .Net space because of what it can do without the frameworks they are use to using if they re-write their code. The clearly there's a lot of growth potential in .Net once those people find out what it can do without all that "framework" baggage.
- nkohari 10y agoMaybe... but I'm not sure about that. If you want to make the argument that Azure has a good chance to make .NET relevant again, I might buy that, but in terms of developer mindshare it's still nowhere near something like Heroku.
