Here's a list of prominent Go infrastructure projects and by no means a complete list: Kubernetes, Docker, Etcd, Consul (and the rest of Hashicorp's projects),

Here's a list of prominent Go infrastructure projects and by no means a complete list: Kubernetes, Docker, Etcd, Consul (and the rest of Hashicorp's projects), CockroachDB, Prometheus, TiDB. Maybe I'm just blind to C# but I don't remember coming across a single similar project that's written in C#.

Azure, Orleans, ASP.NET, Windows,SQL Server, Bing, IIS, Kestrel,... Yep, they aren't pure C#, still way more relevant to the world IT infrastructure than anything Go.

  Sql server written in C#? Please. None of it.

    Depends on what parts, entire products of the Sql server product line are in C#, like Sql Server Reporting Services for instance. The core sql server rdbms engine is hosting the .net runtime for a few things - but there its maginal compared to C++.

      Exact. It's marginal. Saying "written in .net" about sql server made the Microsoft PFEs laugh during our coffee break though.

    Then better learn how to use it properly, specially .NET stored procedures, OLAP engine and SSMS.
    - grumpydba 7y ago
      You also have python and R stored procedures. Is it written in python?
      - pjmlp 7y ago
        Yes, the modules that make up the API surface for Python and R respectively.
        grumpydba 7y ago
        I think saying 'written in X' != 'has API wrappers for X' .
        pjmlp 7y ago
        In correct English one would state fully, completely written in X. Modern stacks are seldom pure blood language X, thus if 5% of it is written in Y, the product is written in a mix of X and Y. Which I also mentioned on my comment, "Yep, they aren't pure C#", naturally overseen when one intends to champion its language as "Year of Desktop Linux" on IT infrastructures.

        Playing games with the commonly accepted meaning of words is a known sophism. The Linux kernel is 0.2% of shell scripts, yet no one would say it's written in shell. Same for windows or sql server. .Net is marginal there. Btw I do code in Go, but I mostly use go apps and enjoys their small memory footprint and ease of deployment. I must not be the only one as I see go apps pretty much everywhere in ops teams.

  None of this is relevent and or even close to be as popular as the previous tools mention in Go, just k8s and Docker crush your entire list. Another very popular one is Grafana also written in Go.

    In what? Only if we are talking about Github stars or Silicon Valley coffee shops. Fortune 500 prefer to care about actual delivered business value.

      I worked in two F500 compagnies both are using k8s, Docker / grafana and Go. They also use C# but not in the cloud / operations / infra world. Go talk to some SRE team in F100 and F500 and ask them what they think about C# infra side lol. The fact that C# was running on Windows only until 2 years ago explains why.
      - pjmlp 7y ago
        I only work for Fortune 500s, on project scale where license costs are a tiny drop regarding overall project costs. Plenty them do run production servers on Windows. You forgot there are 498 left to check.

    That's a very distorted and interesting view of the software industry as a whole.
