      .NET Core is highly multiplatform. Windows still gets preferential treatment but there are few obstacles to .NET development on Linux. It’s a nice ecosystem that’s increasingly open source. All that said, obligatory fuck Microsoft.

        All this multiplatform stuff is bullshit according to my experience. The dotnet CLI is slow, files still use CRLF line ending, I also remember CLI autocompletion was not great. C# has only one working LSP server implementation that sucked ass in VS Code and Neovim. It’s kinda like Java DX, but at least with Java the DX is equally isn’t great on any OS. Maybe I like C# more than Java as a language, but I hate everything else. I also hate Java, btw.

        Also .Net wasn’t always OSS, therefore it has proprietary history (Java has less of the same).

    Naming things is hard and people really suck at it. Many new projects just pick a random word out of the dictionary (or encyclopedia) that has absolutely nothing to do with the project or company and mess up internet searches forever.

    The game “Brand name or dictionary entry” would probably be very difficult to play.

      That’s why I chose random first names for my internal toy projects at work.

      Worked great, until I found out, that a pretty stupidly named tool is now kind of a cornerstone and its name was thrown around in conversations with the upper management.
