Most developers work with open source languages / products. The market for closed source Microsoft sponsored languages gets smaller each year. I remember when many paid thousands for msdn subscriptions.
- strbean 4y agoI think most open source developers who would boycott Microsoft products because of their (abusive?) approach to training Copilot were probably already boycotting Microsoft products. Not much point chasing a market with a lifelong grudge against you.
- louthy 4y ago> The market for closed source Microsoft sponsored languages gets smaller each year Presumably because they're all open source now? C# is still in the top 5 according to TIOBE [4] (whether we pay any attention to that is shrug), but they reckon it's grown in usage in the past year. Typescript is probably one of the fastest growing languages (in terms of usage).
