Kind of absurd the company that invented TypeScript does not embrace it at all on the frontend. No native web framework, no frontend component libraries, all while the past 20 years have suffered from wave after wave of questionably supported framework where Microsoft could have easily filled the void. Even React has been abandoned by Meta. Frameworks like Next.js and SvelteKit are eating Microsoft's lunch in the new full stack world. Entity Framework is the only thing I really miss.

- bottlepalm 3y agoNative, not WebForms 2.0. If WebForms was made in javascript to begin with we'd have a stable 20 year old UI framework right now rather than 20 years of disaster after disaster. It really does take a big tech company with a zillion developers to create good frameworks and tools that survive for decades. Things you can build on confidently and not have to worry about when you'll have to do the next rewrite. No one is writing SQL or C# worried about some new version obsoleting all their code or those platforms being abandoned.
- DarkNova6 3y agoI don’t think any company with the size of MS can have a unified tech stack strategy. Inevitably, competing departments will push different technologies.
- tonyedgecombe 3y agoApple seems to be remarkably consistent on this front. Cocoa on macOS and AppKit on iOS, now both moving towards SwiftUI. On the other hand Microsoft tends towards the other extreme. It seems to be continually at war with itself.
