Microsoft doesn’t exist in the hive mind of Silicon Valley. That’s the only reason.
“We’d rather spend 3x the effort to bash things with open source rocks than ever use a proprietary hammer!”
“.NET is open source. It also comes with a steam roller.”
“We’ve made up our minds!”
PS: I just had to work on a Node.js app for the first time in my career.
After dotnet core it feels like working with children’s wood blocks.
- apatheticonion 1y agoSimilar experience here. Though I moved from C# to Rust and it's become my favorite language of all time. I'd write everything in it if I could, haha
- jiggawatts 1y agoI find the gaps in the Rust standard library annoying. The batteries-not-included design just doesn't do it for me, especially when it's for commonly used things such as the guid type and common interfaces.
- apatheticonion 1y agoThat's fair. The std lib is the biggest pain point for me also but it's easy enough to work around. That and the poor ergonomics of async/await/futures
- account42 1y ago.NET being "open source" doesn't mean it's not proprietary - Microsoft still effectively controls its future.
