Oh, this PHP thing is becoming big, we must use this; *makes ASP*

Oh, oh, this Java thing is really popular, and we're not the big bois now! *releases C#*

Waaait, functional is cool now? Damnit. Dude, grab this~~~ *F#*

Uhh. So people actually like JavaScript now? A wild *~~TypeScript~~* has appeared

Why does Microsoft have a history of following trends, and releasing poor clones with no substantial improvements??

    Some would say they have a history of creating great clones without copying the weaknesses of the original.

    Actually C# is cool and F# is useful in analysis, but I agree on ASP.NET and Typescript

    Typescript is good for devs coming from static typed languages like C,Java.This makes their jobs simpler, no need to remember what type of value you're getting and what is returned

    @QCat i kinda disagree, we use things like haskell and R most of the time for analysis, but i dont doubt that f# would be just as good

    @RazorSh4rk it doesn't mean f# is not useful. It is faster than R (about 200 times) and can access lots of pre-made stuff. It trivially generate MS Office files and reads them. It is really underrated.

    As for me I do analysis in R, Elixir or C++ and CUDA
