Not trying to start a flame war, but I'm triggered.

Dotnet is probably the most polished, most modern language out there, and I have no idea what would you call sexy... Maybe all quirks with javascript or the mess that python is with special functions and the like?

Please untrigger yourself :)

I probably used the wrong word, but I agree. What I meant is that the entire .NET platform is very solid even though it doesn't get a lot of mindshare. Wasn't meant as a putdown of C#.

It's a non-trivial percentage of the ~25M professional programmers in the world. It has plenty of mindshare, just not within the communities that feed the HN userbase.
