The platform has been renamed to ".NET" (since v5), the SDK is ".NET SDK" the executable is named "dotnet", but it has never been branded that way.
- jchw 4y agoThe point I was making is that what was once called .NET Core is now just .NET, after the merge with what was once called .NET framework. However, I think the name .NET is annoying to read and type, and it's ambiguous in a similar manner to Go, so I say Dotnet and Golang. Dotnet is literally just .net with the dot spelled out. It's not really a separate name.
- mythz 4y ago> The point I was making is that what was once called .NET Core is now just .NET Right, IMO it's important to use these official correct labels when correcting someone. "Dotnet" looks like an unintentional Autocomplete error. The executable and repo names use "dotnet" since using ".NET" or previously ".NET Core" would be awkward and unconventional. I'm assuming "Golang" is used because "Go" is a generic ungoogleable word, any language without this issue e.g. Python, Java, Kotlin wouldn't need to make such concessions.
- jchw 4y agoSure, it's not like .NET is Googleable either though. I thought the fact that Microsoft uses the term Dotnet (obviously, only when necessary) was good enough.
- pjc50 4y agoI love C# but this kind of Microsoft naming nonsense drives me up the wall. I'm sure it's negatively impacted mindshare since people can easily be mistaken as to what they're referring to.
