Yeah, although no organization is perfect my opinion changed quite a bit (for the better):

  • TypeScript (Anders Hejlsberg is a great language designer), Visual Studio Code and other projects they open sourced
  • the acquisition of GitHub while it can make someone squirm it's a signal of how serious OSS is for them now
  • the patents you mentioned

.NET has always had good or great performance, from the start and F# seems super interesting to me (and probably a reason I would consider for re-learning .NET :D).

As far as performance goes, you can check out these benchmarks. You'll see that ASP .NET Core is #7 overall. It's clocking in at almost 300,000 requests per second on this particular benchmark, which is supposed to be a representation of a real-world scenario.

Well, as all benchmarks go, they never are real world but it's definitely an impressive placement. .NET probably needs to convince people to migrate to it instead of Go, in terms of marketing I mean.

Microsoft is hiring a lot of Linux and Docker experts lately:
