Is .NET a viable platform for cross-platform data analysis and visualization tool development now? Python is king here, it sure has everything, but I'm tired of its non-type-safety. From what experience I've had, C# is a very ergonomic language, with good balance between an expressive static type system and do-whatever-when-needed dynamic features. Another language I'm looking at is TypeScript, since everything's in browser anyway, and browsers got fast. Guess I just like Anders Hejlsberg.

I'm not sure there's anything as powerful as Pandas + Numpy + Matplotlib in C# (or almost any other language, for that matter), but it looks like there are a few attempts.
