> but I still find .NET lagging behind the JVM/Python/Go ecosystems It probably depends on what libraries you seek. In the enterprise software world the only options for a vendor's library/SDK are often .NET or JVM (and asking them "Do you have a Python or Go library" will probably elicit a response of "What in tarnation do snakes and board games have to do with programming?"). As for whether it's CLR or JVM, the question's usually answerable with: if vendor.preferred_os == 'Windows': 'CLR' else: 'JVM' And since Windows is still pretty commonplace in a lot of smaller enterprise software shops, CLR ends up being the norm for a lot of the COTS products out there.
