What is wrong with .NET? For some reason it is not sexy here but c# and certainly f# are great languages and large parts of the stack is open source. Not quite sure why it is seen as something negative especially when something like JS is seen as positive.
- bdcravens 9y ago> What is wrong with .NET? Nothing at all. I've done quite a bit of it (ColdFusion too!). Nothing wrong with health care or energy industries either. I do think there's a lot of the HN crowd that only have eyes for the hip languages or fun startups though, whether it makes sense or not.
- tluyben2 9y agoLet's make .NET hip again... Rise4fun, f# and yes, f* are seriously cool. For any self professed language freak. The framework is robust, fast and now available everywhere. I write and compile large projects on Linux and working on a tool chain to compile iOS Xamarin on Linux. It is very nice. And Bridge.Net is very mature as well; all our core libraries compile with only a few injects and it is not too big either compared to what I see most people doing online. I do a lot of JS because legacy but it really hurts when you have such nice languages and tools.
