Yup, common misconception for folks that haven't used it in a decade.

Our team uses C#. We dev on Apple silicon Macs. Some use Rider, others just use VS Code. We build on Linux via GitHub Actions. Ship to prod running AWS t4g Arm64 instances.

C# to me is like TypeScript++. The language, syntax, and core constructs are close enough that anyone with a good handle on JS and TS can pick it up easily and be productive.
