On: WordPress on .NET

Agreed. It's usually the opposite, especially in enterprise. People on HN get in their bubbles and forget that most large businesses use Windows.

This is on .NET Core, so you can actually run this anywhere! I do a lot of Core development on a Mac, but it runs well on AWS/Linux/my toaster.

Weird times, huh?

Out of curiosity, why do you use .NET? (Assuming you use Mac/AWS/etc because you like them)

[_bbks → rattray]

Not the person you asked but I also develop .NET Core on a mac. I like .NET because I can use C# which is my favourite language, and the new ASP.NET Core framework is very clean, modern and straight to the point. There's very little magic and it's performant and productive.

Dapper for data access is also fantastic for the same reasons.

For me, it's because I love C# (and F#, which I'm still learning).

[imafish → rattray]

Because C# is awesome. The most intuitive OO language I have ever used.

That makes it sound like 'people on HN' are trapped in some sort of enterprise-proof foam. Which is unlikely.
