Even MS themselves moved from their proprietary .NET implementation to .NET Core, which works just fine in Linux. But I'd give a +1 to Kotlin anyway, its a great language. I'm also fond of using Python with Pydantic to enforce type checking.
- bioemerl 4y agoI am not crazy prone to trust the open source dotnet core. Even if it's open source, it's still Microsoft. I feel like people give open source way too much credit in general when it comes to how it can be abused. There is still a very very large barrier to control over the ecosystem when it comes to core, so if Microsoft decides to start getting to 4E the project I fully believe they'll succeed. I will 100 percent look into that python option though. The main reason I've ruled it out is performance. JVM and Core just thrash python in terms of out of the box speed.
