ASP.NET core it not terribly well-designed, but it has has peripheral things like Razor, design-by-contract, PEX, Moles and there are tons of other interesting technologies from MS research. A lot of those things are genuinely new in some way, and allow you to do something that was completely impossible before.
I can't muster any enthusiasm over Node, because it's really more-of-the-same-but-better. With an attitude like this it's perfectly reasonable to ask "why exactly it's better"? Unsubstantiated enthusiasm in IT is evil.
- EnderMB 15y agoAll the great new features of ASP.NET and C# aren't exactly new, but Microsoft have created a genuinely fun platform that a lot of people are starting to use outside of the famed "stuffy, corporate environments". We use it at a digital agency and it's been fantastic. I'm a big fan of what both Python and ASP.NET are doing at the moment, and although I have tried Ruby and Node.js I really couldn't see myself wanting to use them for a real project.
- romaniv 15y agoTo the best of my knowledge, stuff like PEX is new outside of academic environments. Moreover, it's highly non-trivial. Here is a collection of other interesting projects from their research department: http://rise4fun.com/ http://rise4fun.com/
