.NET will always be looked at as enterprisey, and old school. I agree that it has advanced a lot, but I don't think anything will change that perspective.

- DonnyV 6y agoThis is exactly the mindset of a lot of developers that don't even bother looking at .NET. If you did. You would know that .NET is far beyond offering Mono. .NET and Mono merged back in 2016 to form .NET Core. Which was supported on all major OS platforms and was open sourced. .NET 5 was released in 2020 which merges the rest of .NET, including WinForms. Now all open sourced. .NET 6 has already been announced with a cross platform UI framework. So enterprisey and old, it is not.
- ibraheemdev 6y agoYup .NET Core being cross-platform and open-source is a huge deal, and Blazor looks really cool, but I still don't think the way people look at C# is going to change.
- MereInterest 6y agoMakes sense, and thank you for the updated information. I was looking into C# about a decade ago, and decided against it for the reasons I mentioned. I'm glad to hear that it continued to progress, though I'm a bit too invested in C++ at the moment to revisit that earlier decision.
- hackerfromthefu 6y agoWow, that's just your particular bubble, but you write as though you're speaking for everyone .. it's exactly that kind of myopia the parent comment was pointing out.
