> My hope is that .NET and C# have a resurgence as .NET 6 rounds the corner. With .NET 6, C# 10, and minimal APIs, the language feels more modern than ever and is the perfect gateway from TypeScript/JavaScript on the server to .NET.

Oh please please please let this come true so I can write c# on the backend again. I love typescript because it made JavaScript (i.e. front end web) so much less shit to work on, and I’d prefer it over ruby or python backends still, but c# hits such a sweet spot of ease to write, while still remaining relatively performant.

Go and rust are probably better for certain applications, but c# would be light years ahead of things like ruby or python.

It must be one old article, because what rounds the corner is .NET 7, while .NET 6 and minimal APIs have been available for a better part of a year already
