  • As someone who has worked with a pretty large C# codebase and several smaller ones, I’ve found it to be one of the least efficient languages to program in. This is maybe not a technical fault of the language, but the way Microsoft encourages developing C# means that once you get past a certain point even simple MRs will have 10-20 files changed. There is sooooooooo much boilerplate caused by .NET that even things like Java Spring Boot just don’t have (and even then I’d consider Java to be a pretty bloated language in terms of boilerplate).

    That’s ignoring the fact that the ecosystem surrounding .NET is a lot more enterprise-y, meaning a good portion of libraries require paid licenses to use.




  • Worth noting that Linux Mint Debian Edition exists and is based directly on Debian instead of Ubuntu. They starting publishing it specifically because the Linux Mint team doesn’t like the direction Ubuntu is heading in with snaps. Not sure how good it is as I haven’t tried it in a while (and don’t really use regular mint either).
