C# and .NET Core are really nice to work with but there is still quite a bit of change going on with .NET Core. Hopefully it will bed down a bit after 1.1.

C# is a great language if you use the features well. Async/await and ThingOf<T> etc.

I know .NET has a bit of a bad reputation in some parts of the tech community but it's a great skill to have for stable job prospects. It doesn't matter if it's not cool. :)

Disclaimer: I wrote a book on .NET Core so I clearly have a vested interest in it doing well.

What's your book? I used C# exclusively for personal projects on Windows maybe 6-7 years ago, then switched to Python and Linux. I'm now considering coming back to C# and seeing what's going on on that side of things since they've opened up. I've even been considering switching my main machine to Windows with Linux in a VM instead of the other way around like I've had it for the past years.
