F# is even better. It is an amazing fun and productive language to work in. At the end of the day a language is just a language, but much the a keyboard some are more comfortable than others. I find F# very comfortable. C# is also very nice

Yeah. I either have to read it out loud or listen to an audio book version. I don't know why but it works for me.

I started investing during this downturn. I'm investing for 30 years. Either this is the end of the world as we know it and my money is going to be worthless or it'll be fine over 30 years.

Having worked in Linux for years, I'm sorry Windows is more productive for me. MS office still dominates and our company and customers work in Excel. Without support for office Linux is harder than Windows for me. With WSL2 almost ever

There are also companies saddled with tech that was mainstream but is no longer. Adobes Flex was a great option until it was killed. Perl was everywhere now it's almost esoteric to find a greenfield project in Perl.

Obviously total freedom is not possible or desirable. You'd need to be free to kill others. My position is that visual pollution is not such a great concern that we should restrict how someone paints their building.
