I hate the entire ecosystem of dot net
I just got assigned to a project that uses dot net tech stack.
I had plenty experience on spring and gin, I had a lot of fun learning and using them,
now I'm learning what dot net has to offer, and well
everything is just crapy as hell, It's the shittest learning experience in my professional carrier. I dun wanna get into the specifics, I'm sure you guys had enough.
FUCK YOU MICROSOFT.

and what the hell devrant

it's terrible. The whole Microsoft tech stack feels either like kid toys or like it's straight from the nineties.

Please get into the specifics. I really don’t know what you’re talking about. I agree that the .net ecosystem has some pretty crappy aspects to it, but at least it’s less crappy than anything jvm or node… so lesser of evils (or piles of poo) imo.

Microsoft tech stack feel like it is too over enginered for me.

please get into the specifics so i can tell you how you're wrong. ;)

no, seriously, there's a lot of garbage in its past, like WCF, but modern dotnet is a very flexible and IMHO intuitive programming environment.

and that from a linux-fanboy who wholeheartedly hates the parts of microsoft responsible for visual studio, office, outlook, teams, azure, visual studio again, MSSQL, windows, ...

seriously, the only things microsoft ever did right were age of empires (except 3), halo and c#.

@tosensei you forgot F# from the list of things they got right

@100110111 well, it gets cancelled out by VB ;)

but i can't seriously make a statement. i'm interested in functional programming, but haven't yet had any incentive to try a purely functional language. so far, applying functional programming patterns to c# was enough, and adding a new language to a program just for the sake of itself doesn't seem smart to me.

I cannot say for dot net. But my first job was a consultant job doing SharePoint.

I quit in 4 months, best decision ever.

There are only 2 ecosystems I hate touching, any microsoft related (windows servers, C#, mssql, etc) and Node.

@tosensei

My experience with WCF is as bad as I remember. My main problem with Microsoft is that either there are a lot of configuration to do or their API is too messy (in my option).

Yes, please, be specific. Mentioning Spring and Gin, I have to assume you actually mean ASP sucks and, yes, ASP does suck.

But use dotnet for it's intended purpose, making actual software and not just scripting web stuff, and it is one of the best languages and frameworks ever created.

@pokerface to be fair that SharePoint is terrible has nothing to do with .NET and even as a .NET dev myself I wouldn't touch that with a ten-foot pole.

@mr-user Yes! I like C# and F# but the lack of flexibility in MS stack is annoying
