I've been a software engineer for a very long time (pre-JavaScript existing).
I highly doubt it. I am working on a greenfield project and we are on Angular 17 for the front-end and C# for the REST APIs, backed by a relational SQL database. It is smooth sailing.
I am not familiar with those frameworks outside of what Next.js is doing with React (combining server and client code).
I don't like it, at all. I've spent decades working with what is now being called "SSR", but that's literally how everything was done.
So many developers got into software engineering knowing only JavaScript and usually a bit about a framework, generally React. Then we got Node.js so we could have JavaScript on the server, then Express.js so JavaScript can serve JavaScript, then NoSQL so you can store JavaScript objects in a database (essentially a KV store) without needing to learn SQL.
Now we have JavaScript that mixes front-end and back-end together.
I have 22 years of C# development. It works, it's easy, and it's fast. The "split" between front-end and back-end is perfectly fine to me.
- scrapcode 3y agoHow do you feel about Blazer or is it something you're even exploring?
- mamidon 3y agoI've used C# for decades at this point, but only every had a day job that used it once. I don't know why so many startups drive right past the dotnet ecosystem for some cthulian JavaScript thing. I sure wish I could return to dotnet professionally!
