The number of new non-enterprise projects built on C# is off by a factor of 10-100x compared to Python/Node/Rust. And even in enterprise, it's now dying. .net core is an attempt to rescue it on the cloud but it's too little too late.
No matter how amazing the language is, it has become hard associated with enterprise work and not much else. It didn't need to be that way, that's Microsoft's doing.
- mrlala 6y ago> it has become hard associated with enterprise work and not much else Maybe you are right on that, but why do you consider that a bad thing? Different languages are for different things. Your statement of non-enterprise projects off by a factor of 10-100x is partly because people jumped on the non-statically typed mess that Python is. Especially with all the AI related stuff.. yeah if you are doing some random little research project and you are a math person but don't want to take the time to do programming "correctly", then sure you can jump into python, use some libraries and get some results. It has it's purpose. I don't know it's just silly to bulk everything together and pretend you can compare them. Also saying .net is dying in enterprise is basically laughable.
