Interesting. One of the Restate team reached out to me because I write a lot about durable execution and I’m part of the Temporal Constellation program.

I was curious about their approach to durable execution, so I told them to come back to me when they had a .NET SDK.

The fact that they don’t is either due to the fact that they have a historic prejudice against Microsoft and by extension dotnet, or they can’t be bothered and see no point in it.

Either way the types of companies that are going to have a strong interest in resilient distributed applications, are corporations, and dotnet is still highly prevalent in those types of organizations.

So refusing to support dotnet as a SDK option in Restate is beyond short sighted. It’s leaving money in the table. I can’t take them seriously if that’s the case.

I think the fact that most coding agent images don’t include dotnet support by default. Just look at codex-universal. Swift gets included but not dotnet. Yes it’s not hard to install dotnet yourself and setup the environment, but there isn’t a real valid reason to exclude it since they’ve covered nearly every other popular language.

This. A lot of segregation is very much due to this.

> I think the fact that most coding agent images don’t include dotnet support by default

And it gets worse that that:

https://github.com/openai/codex-universal/issues/13

https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/1276

https://github.com/openai/codex-universal/pull/120

And you see that the community members are doing the work for them, yet they would still refuse using the stiffiest corpo lingo in the most passive aggressive way

"Sorry, we're not accepting PRs in this repo. If you'd like to see a change to the codex universal docker image, please file a feature request in the main codex issue tracker."

Okay, so what the fuck is this:

https://github.com/openai/codex-universal/pull/131

https://github.com/openai/codex-universal/pull/90

I know, but the fact that it is not included by default, then someone made a PR to hopefully get it in, but got refused, tell him to turn around to another issue, and then idling that issue for a long time now, it really pisses me off because there is no communication whatsoever, just like how I have this recent situation with LayerStack has fucked up their control panel, and stripped some features, not ever telling me, just avoided me. This is the part that pisses me off.

"come on, it is just a matter of adding the fucking dotnet SDK by yourself". You know, the problem is not that simple anymore, there is a little hidden agenda which turned into a stance problem, or, oh, well, I hate to say it, "technological politics".

Yeah, I know, "tech is just a tool", then where are all the criticisms when the punks are boasting how "Rust or Golang is so fast, Python and Node is dead" blah blah blah.

Anyway, if you are just trying to hide the vendetta against dotnet, then just say it. Say it out loud and stop fucking around. Make an assertion and stand on your fucking ground.

Top rant, i enjoyed it

I might point out that passive-aggressive weasels hiding behind stiff corporate speak are visually undifferentiatiable from people doing the best they can in a project with multiple competing goals in a world where they could lose their jobs for a careless public comment. Not everybody is free.

> I have to go on a furious exchange in the tickets to them

...furious?

Did you have to?

Did you _have_ to?
