First of all let me say that I did not mean to offend. I simply think you are wrong in a few aspects and I have had to deal with developers making comments like yours for many years. I used to do the same myself, specially when Rails was cool or when AngularJS was cool, but have learned from many mentors how dumb you might sound when you do it.

Nowadays ASP.NET is what the framework is called, not the language. As for Blazor, it is a way to create WebAssembly apps with ASP.NET Core.

I know you didn't mention Java and PHP. I simply assumed what your opinion would be on Java and PHP and wasn't far off, because I know your type, I used to say the same thing. What surprises me is that you don't consider Python to be outdated, which is a good thing, because it's not.

Java having had security flaws in the past is like saying Toyota cars have had safety flaws in the past. Doesn't mean it's outdated. It's far from it, specially with its new release schedule and having new languages like Kotlin compiling to Java bytecode.

PHP isn't outdate either. I'd recommend watching Rasmus' talk on the 25 years of PHP youtube.com/watch?v=wCZ5TJCBWMg. It's a great emotional talk.

Innovation is innovation, regardless of where it happens. I don't care where it comes from, if it teaches me something it's more than welcome.
