dotNET will stay around just like the mainframes but it’s not a growth market nor the worldwide norm for enterprise web backends.
I work on legacy platforms so I know there is good money in dead technology. But that don’t make it the future.
I just don’t see any legacy codebase being rewritten as dotNET and a similar amount of new greenfield dotNET projects as new Perl project being launched due to NETs heritage as a windows component.

- Stranger43 8y agoIf I were a Perl consultant I’m sure I would say the same about Perl and my region and it’s not that long ago that IBM stopped claiming the future was still the mainframe.
- pjmlp 8y agoAs polyglot developer, .NET is just one of the many tools on my toolbox, just look for yourself on European job boards.
- eksemplar 8y agoThe most available job in my country for any programming language is C#, followed closely by JAVA. On third place is PHP. Fourth is Sharepoint and RPA. Around half the number of the C# jobs include some kind of JS requirements but almost every JS job uses a different backend than node. There is one fullstack JS job. Three JBOSS jobs and six DJANGO jobs. This isn’t unique in Europe.
