C# has been around a long enough time and Microsoft's teams over that time have done a pretty good job making upgrading each version easy. As long as the current leadership in the C# & .NET teams remain, it's a very safe langu

Anders Hejlsberg, a main architect on C# & TS, stated somewhere that they re-wrote the TS Compiler in Go because the syntax was the closest to how it was originally written and allowed re-writing to be easiest. He has a great write up o

IMO Apple's play here is to be the host that runs something like mcp servers and allows/encourages App devs to allow users to ask Siri to make requests that utilize their apps. Then we can interact with multiple apps all via Siri

Just an FYI for those unaware TS & C# are both creations of Anders Hejlsberg & his colleagues at Microsoft. Both are some of my favorite languages as well. We would all benefit if JS was more like C# in my opinion.
