Comptime – C# meta-programming with compile-time code generation and evaluation

I love C# and .NET and use it every day.

Sometimes I wonder if the .NET department is totally separated from the rest of Microsoft. Microsoft is so bad on all fronts I stopped using everything that has to do with it. Windows, Xbox, the Microsoft account experience, the Microsoft store, for me it has been one big trip of frustration.

Microsoft is huge, it's many companies inside one company.

.NET seems to be somewhere close to Azure, but now far away from Windows or the business applications (Office/Teams, Dynamics, Power Platform). Things like GitHub, LinkedIn or Xbox seem to be de facto separate companies.

Edit: .NET used to be tied closely to Windows, which gave it the horrible reputation. The dark age of .NET ;)
