I don't think that's it, I like to think that many people desire to use C# but that ASP.NET is scaring them off.
There are also no success stories of Mono on the serverside. If I use Java, I can rest assured that Google and Twitter have solved those problems before me.
Even if you do client development: WPF is perceived to be the only choice for gui c# development, and WPF is pretty complicated.
As much as I dislike the (XML and other) bloat: Java seems like a safe choice to me. Plus, there are going to be new JVM based languages, like Ceylon.
- eftpotrm 15y agoI'm not actually a great fan of ASP.Net in it's original incarnations (as what I and probably you from the sounds of things know best), but it's hardly this useless technology no-one on scale uses. Microsoft have been serious for years about dog-fooding their tech and I'm pretty sure you'll find Hotmail runs on ASP.Net. That's big enough scale for me.
