> Comes with .NET 6.0

So I guess the general release of Visual Studio 2022 will be in November 2021[1] when .NET 6.0 is scheduled for release. Can't believe .NET 7 is scheduled to be released the year after and .NET 8 the year after that.

So many amazing things coming to the .NET ecosystem, honestly excited for the next decade I'll spend with C#. It's already served me well in the last but .NET Core really supercharged it!

Yep. In the ASP / VBScript days I dipped my toes into that but found it underwhelming.

But now with .NET on Linux, MAUI cross-platform desktop, pushes for open-sourcing, .NET foundation and exceptional performance of ASP Net Core I'm planning to take the U turn and invest in .NET knowledge.

For the kinds of systems I work on, .NET is very appealing. Strong competition for Java and Go, which are great as well.
