.NET is 20 years old now, according to Wikipedia. I've never seen the point of it, and have avoided using it in anything I've cared about. If people are foolish enough to use it, I'm not going to be able to stop them. I've tried Visual Studio (to compile my forth project with), but it just doesn't work for me anyway. There's too big an impedance mismatch. I'll stick with NotePad++ for non-pascal stuff, and Lazarus for the rest.

What does .NET (and Visual Studio for that matter) have to do with Visual Studio Code? The latter is an IDE based on web technologies that shares naming with Visual Studio proper in the same way Java shares a name with JavaScript. > I've never seen the point of it Well if we're talking .NET, it's OSS now and runs on Mac/Linux/Docker. It's legitimately a great platform for writing backend services. C# is a java-like that has a lot of really nice benefits over java (in a similar vein to Kotlin). C# also pioneered the async/await syntax you see everywhere now, and as such has first class async and streaming support which is a real boon for workloads. > Notepad++ A man of culture I see!
