Java's not a good example as Java 8 took so long to come along. Almost took them 10 years to catch up with the rest.

In modern C# you won't see hide nor hair of Factories, Singletons, etc.

Expect modern Java to be the same in a few years.

Singletons have fallen out of favor, not because of language improvements, but because of increased focus on unit testing, which does not work well with singletons. I believe this trend actually started earlier in Java than in .net.

Yeah, what with the asp.net core team being such great devs, I'll definitely listen to them.

That team can't commit to anything and yet make regular sweeping changes to the framework depending on whatever the current flavour of the month is. This month it's DI, DI, DI.

They've been incredibly inconsistent since ScottGu left.
