Reading this thread, with all the Javascript talk, makes me feel like I should be scared of continuing to be a C# developer..

  I had to like really think 10 times over, to comment or not, being a PHP dev....

  Don't think that'll be an issue. Just sad to not see .NET Core finally get a UI layer added on. They're investing in ASP .NET Core its a nice back-end ecosystem.

  Office client never used .net or C# to begin with

    Actually at one point they went very close to replace VBA with .net. It was called VSTA and meant to be a mini visual studio in office apps. I believe one of the office apps shipped with it in Office 2007, then they killed it.

      VSTO, right?
      • cm2187 8y ago
        Nope. VSTO actually shipped and is used to create office addins. VSTA was an embedded IDE.

  I made this change back in 2011 when the Windows 8 developer preview with WinRT single-handedly annihilated all the WPF & Silverlight consulting work. The writing was on the wall for months, but for me the last straw was the JavaScript WinRT apps.

  There is still work for COBOL developers. I don't think C/++/#/etc. work will be going away any time soon.
