I started off in .net, where historically all functionality not provided by the .net framework is offered at a financial cost.
if you don't have a large team (who can help with bouncing ideas, etc), the benefits you get from using module ecosystems like npm or pip can not be understated.
- kzisme 9y agoHow long did you stay in the .net world? Was it hard to switch out of it and learn a lot more?
- novaleaf 9y agoi moved to typescript (node + webpack) moving to typescript from C# was pretty easy, and the semi-functional paradigm of node (Promises especially) was an interesting and caused a beneficial change in the way I architect applications. Never used a package manager before moving to Node, so the overall quality of the stuff found on npm was surprisingly good. still find some wonky/crappy stuff, but a lot of high quality stuff for just about any functionality you need, and all for free. C# would still be very useful if I need a single application to maximize utilization of a desktop CPU, but for the SaaS stuff I do now, NodeJs + many small servers (horizontal scaling) is good for cloud vm's.
