6 .NET Myths Dispelled

• trinovantes 5y ago
  It's weird to refer to .NET as a framework/language interchangeably. Took me awhile to realize the author is actually talking about building web apps with C#
  • pjmlp 5y ago
    On many .NET shops we do refer to it that way, because C#, F#, VB and C++/CLI are part of the package, so while nowadays C# tends to carry the crown, plenty of business opportunities still exist with the other ones. Also as reminder how it look on the launch event, https://news.microsoft.com/2001/10/22/massive-industry-and-developer-support-for-microsoft-net-on-display-at-professional-developers-conference-2001/ https://news.microsoft.com/2001/10/22/massive-industry-and-d... > More than 20 programming tools vendors offer some 26 programming languages — including C++, Perl, Python, Java, COBOL, RPG and Haskell — on .NET.

      .NET is fundamentally built on the Common Language Infrastructure. So C#, F#, IronPython, etc. are just higher level constructs on top of the .NET CLI. So perhaps that's why I tend to clob the two together :)
