Also, it's cross platform, which is amazing.
Here's my Cross-Platform TaskManager (FOSS Free & Open Source Software) written in C# with a HTML5/JS UI. Runs on macOS, Linux, and Win. github.com/raddevus/DiscoProcs
I was working at a firm making the transition from classic ASP to VB.Net and C# when .Net 3.5 came out and introduced LINQ. We built everything from file management to e-commerce to search engines with it. While my day job is now focused on front-end development, and I enjoy the deeper knowledge that comes with narrowing focus, I do remember fondly working with C#.
That said, I have to take issue with the "Messy Node.js" vs "Minimal C#" example.
The only difference I see is
(req, res) => res.send(...).I can see that passing the args to the builder centralizes the config, but it felt awkward to have you say one was messy and the other minimal when there seems to be just a few characters of difference between the two. 😀
Thank you for sharing this article!
I usually work with Python, but this inspired me to explore C# as well.
That’s awesome! Python’s great for quick wins, but once you taste C#’s type safety and LINQ magic… there’s no going back 😉
We are family🙌
Couldn’t agree more 🙌
I prefer Java for Web Backend
That’s awesome! 💪For me though, C# just clicked better — especially with how .NET has evolved in recent years
.net is good
.NET == good → always evaluates to true
C# is great. I suggest you also try and check out this cool web framework:
nuget.org/packages/CodeBehind/
I also got introduced to C# by chance. These days, I'm writing mostly TypeScript, and honestly, I don’t miss C# that much—after all, it’s a Microsoft product too. 😄
I admire what C# offers — tooling, performance, the .NET ecosystem — and I wouldn’t rule it out when the project fits.
