On: Official proposal for Type Unions in C#

It's even worse, plenty of Azure itself is C#, and I don't mean a few dashboards, I mean the infrastructure itself, heck the serverless infrastructure's open source and its basically C#. I'm sure the same could be said of AWS and Java (making an assumption), or Google Cloud Platform and Go / Python.

Ironically, given the past history that lead to .NET existence,

Because it turns out, making Java running on Azure, on those 60% Linux workloads, is lot of money.

Also plenty of Azure, anything CNCF related, is mostly Go and Rust.

Which is kind of sad, I would expect Azure to be a good contributor for having a .NET presence in the CNCF project landscape.

Fully agreed! It's really interesting how diverse their entire platform really is in the grand scheme of things. One thing I had hoped to see is one of those IL conversion projects that can make JVM bytecode and .NET bytecode co-habitate would have taken off slightly more. I guess the only real way to make those work is to either target both for WASM or implement the standard library of the respective languages in the target platforms, which is a can of worms.
