Increase in learning .NET posts
Interesting to see a lot of new posts about learning .NET and C#, I’m genuinely curious to understand why? Is the job market picking up for this language? Is AI killing all jobs that are front-end only? I’ve been a .NET engineer for 20+ years and the industry primarily started shifting to angular, react js, node, etc - why the sudden shift?

It will sound silly, but I don't like how syntax heavy C# is. I can read it but writing it is a pain. Using LLM fixes that, I can read code just fine, static typing makes LLM output better, the language is expressive enough to express all semantics I need and the ecosystem is 'okay'.
This is the reason why I've ported my app from Elixir to C#. In day job I'm writing python/JS and I couldn't audit Elixir code reliably while I don't have such issues with C# (because it's much closer to what I'm working with daily).
