Yeah, I saw the dotnet run option in the v10 notes... currently working on a project with preview 5. Need to update the latest, but the locked down environment means getting the helpdesk involved for everyone to update across the team, which is ironic as I do have admin privs on our app servers, just not my assigned laptop.

Lol, yeah, most of the times on the server we have more perms than IT assigns on our laptops. I am not in that environment anymore, but in banking was very much the case. I want the dotnet run to work out, that means I could start using C# more. We have a mixed bag now Go(biggest chunk), C#, Python, JS/TS, and lots of .sh. Some powershell(in search for better shell scripting). Some very little Rust. Do you do any GUI apps with C#? If yes what you go for? Did MAUI took off already, or it's not being well adopted? The promise was nice. I still miss Delphi and drag and drog components. Well there is Qt now, but that's a different story.

  As mentioned, mostly Deno+TS if I need more than can easily be done in (git/msys)bash, not fond of Powershell, though I've used it where necessary/available. I don't do a lot of desktop gui apps, I've thought about Tauri wrapped web-based apps, mostly in that the tooling seems pretty nice, there's also Leptos and a few other options that can work with/similarly. If going with C# I'm more inclined to use Uno, Avalonia, Etp Fprms or maybe embedding Blazor. MAUI is kind of DoA for me, only because of a lack of Linux target. I know it's only 5-6% of desktop market, but IMO, it's still worth having given a developer audience. I know web-based desktop apps are a bit higher overhead than native, but they can operate relatively well with good skinning (CSS) and accessibility features that tend to work better, or at least more consistently than a lot of cross-platform UI tooling. I find MUI + React to be a pretty good mix for UI, and have played with async state mgt similar to Redux in managed (backend) code with it a bit, and it's worked pretty smoothly in my experiments. You have to think a bit more about state vs. events, but it's been a rock solid experience.
