Mono appears to be dead. I enjoy making life hard so I dont use windows. I am trying to learn very simple c# but am having trouble gettung visual studio to run anything on linux (debian/mint). It wont even run with dotnet in the terminal either. I dont really like all the features in vs either, i just want simple.
For reference im learning with the yellow book by rob miles. I want to learn the old way, not using a bunch of shiny helping tools (i never feel i really learn with those and it stunts my growth).
It’s literally the 4th most popular language on the list. And JS/TS is obviously number one due to it being used in frontend as the de facto standard. So when looking at languages used for backend systems, it’s number 3.
I have no idea what you’re referring to when you say C# has more weaknesses than most. C# is incredibly solid these days, typed, easy to write and with great support for web apis (or anything really).
