I still don’t understand why more startups don’t adopt .NET. It’s such a powerful technology. ASP.NET has some of the best performance benchmarks out there, C# is a rich and expressive language, and the ecosystem along with the standard libraries are stable and mature. You rarely run into the kind of headaches you often see with more “trendy” stacks.

We had a startup that got some flak for us writing our application in C#, mostly just snobby startup types asking why we didn't use Python or Node, honestly the performance we get out of it is insane, and I honestly struggle to enjoy an ORM like I do EF Core (it's fast, LINQ is nice).

The lack of respect for C# in the startup world is frustrating though
