This is depressing.
Last years `dotnet watch` and now this. I kind of went with the tide into the position I'm in (basically a C# developer for that side of my job) and as much as I was impressed with, "oh .NET is open source and cross platform now well done" and "oh, F# is a really nice language that can take advantage of the .NET ecosystem well done" it's things like THIS that make me want to run. I kind of want to. Why participate in an ecosystem where the biggest corporate overlord is trying to reduce your ability to _do things_. I'd rather use Ruby or Crystal for OOP (and I want to, they are both amazing) and OCaml for functional programming (of which F# is basically a ".NET OCaml" clone).

- premun 4y agoHow is Microsoft reducing your ability? No functionality got behind a paywall. On contrary, the VS Code plugin will actually get much better because of this effort - you can read the authors of OmniSharp clearly stating this[0], links are in the comments above. Microsoft spends a lot of money to bring you free experiences. Then it has the business on top of that where it offers better experience. Nothing different to what JetBrains does in this regard. Except that this fuels how you are able to fund the free experience in the first place.
