I would use Go more confidently than C#, C# depends on Microsoft for everything, from the tooling to asp.net, entity framework, c# is mit licensed but you can’t get anywhere without microsoft. Now I understand there's little chance microsoft kills it, but I would assume people would have thought that of their perpetual licenses or plans for VMWare, they maybe thought they're not going to kill their clients, they're not going to kill sales partners because XYY, the truth is, there are good technologies very dependent on corporations deciding their directions, but those technologies aren't that level better than open ones to justify the risk

Who develops Go? :)

  Yeah I understood that, but I said "I would rather" , not "I will" , I think the ecosystem of Golang is much less dependent on Google than C#, there are a lot of tools in Go that aren't related to Google and in case they'd give up the language, it would be much easier for the community to keep maintaining it, I think

    Unity, games written with Monogame or Godot, frameworks for distributed actors like Akka.NET, all kinds of message buses, AWS lambda for serverless that works on top of NativeAOT, Dapper and DapperAOT, AvaloniaUI (while people bash .NET for GUI story, they don’t bash Go because it just doesn’t have any good options at all) and Uno platform. No, it doesn’t seem to be the case. And C# mostly does not need multiple back-end frameworks because the out of box option (which is just a part of dotnet foundation ecosystem of repositories) provides the best performance out of all alternatives like Servicestack. This does not mean someone won’t implement another one in the future to sacrifice even more ASP.NET Core style features to minimize the overhead even further or to address specialized scenarios.

      Oh yeah probably gaming in c# is a industry little dependent on Microsoft
