Been programming since 2.0 in DotNet.
I must say props for the insane compatibility that was kept over the years/decades!
Even migrating some apps from vb6 was relatively easy, that effort shouldn't be underestimated.
A minor nit would be with Silverlight, but I wasn't affected by it. I didn't use much of wpf because of that though. Since around that time, everything migrated to the web.
A well deserved thanks!
- pjmlp 5y agoNow there is a company making Silverlight work on top of WebAssembly. https://opensilver.net/ https://opensilver.net/
- kevingadd 5y agoOn the bright side, a lot of Silverlight code still works since it wasn't a completely separate class library etc. Back when I was still working on JSIL, I had one enterprise customer who was slowly porting over a huge pile of Silverlight code to run on top of my stack. It was more feasible than you'd think since so much of the code could be used without modification. You basically only had to replace the frontend.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoIt still works, yes. But for the people that migrated around that time to it, I suspect a deprecated framework ( although functional), probably wasn't what was anticipated. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/troubleshoot/developer/visualstudio/silverlight/silverlight-not-work-google-chrome https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/troubleshoot/developer/visu... They still have a updated faq for it.
