Are you sure? My personal reluctance to C# has been that it's not handy for the stuff I do that needs to run on Windows, Mac, and Linux, which is everything.
there's always a bit of disdain from anything coming from MS I think that's a fair assessment
It took me about 60 seconds on a new EC2 ubuntu instance
Anything in particular? .NET 5.0 (and therefore C#) runs beautifully on Windows, Mac and Linux (x64 or Arm)
.net core has handled that well in the last ~3-5 years. Yeah, not a great rep before that but the new iteration/rewrite has been impressive.
I don't think it really started to settle down until .Net Core 3.0 which is just 18 months ago. Five years ago it was version 1.0 and a bit of a dog on all platforms.
