As someone who recently moved from C# to working with Node, Angular and Python full time, the recent announcements definitely make me want to go back to using .Net again. I love where all of the new stuff is headed.

I've worked with various languages C#, Python, Ruby, Objective-C(I was an iOS developer) but I prefer strongly typed languages for larger projects, and the refactoring tools that it allows for. Eventually I would like a completely statically typed inferred language, go mainstream(Aka Demand for it) C# is my best option atm.

  I agree. My recent forays in to javascript have left me wanting to rewrite big chunks of my new app in TypeScript instead. :)

    Fortunately rewrite in typescript is mainly rename the files, simplify class declarations and add some type annotations as you go

    Make the jump to TypeScript, you will be glad you did.

I moved away from C# and .NET about 4 years ago, and use all those things too. The recent developments are great, but I view them more as a cool glass of water for people in a hot place (not hell, far from it). I don't like how .NET as a platform/ecosystem/community lags on certain things that are almost taken for granted in other areas, like deployment tools and package managers. Then again, when I worked with .NET those things were my responsibility so I guess their lack affected me more than many .NET devs.

  Well the good news is that those things are standard now.

    Yes, those are standard now because they're "old" in the rest of the industry. It remains to be seen if newer tech that is starting to become standard outside of the Microsoft ecosystem today (containers, for example) will be integrated fast enough to matter.

      Containers? You mean like MEF(Included in .net framework) or Unity? .Net has always had containers like that.

        No he mean ressources isolation containers (tiny VMs)

        I don't know how they would do that with windows, since it requires features in the linux kernel.

        Starting with Windows 8, Hyper-V (Microsoft's virtualization platform) is built into the OS - and one of the goals with it was to be able to virtualize different environments invisibly to the end-user. The Hyper-V team have also been actively committing to the Linux kernel for many years now, and I'm happily running a 6-node Cassandra cluster on my Windows 8 dev machine right now using Hyper-V :) So it's not there yet, but ground has been broken.
