I'm really disappointed at Build conference this year. Very little about programming, C# and .NET. I'm worried that it is a dying platform. I'm not interested in the Azure side of things, I'd like to see more investment and genuine innovation in the foundations like languages, runtimes, libraries.

The next .net release should be next year. .net core is in the middle of a release right now. I think the timing of Build is just bad. But you’re also right that they are not as attention-grabbing as the consumer-oriented and power-user-oriented releases or as strategically critical as Azure.
