We build a Shopify-leading platform on C# at a startup -- they got so much flak from colleagues about it being built on C# instead of Node or Python. Absolutely no reason other than "C# icky" -- they ended up with a platform that is crazy fast (and fast scales way easier, it handles a dumb amount of traffic without a lot of crazy design) Startup culture is toxic AF at times, bad engineering decisions for cargo cult stuff.
