Mobile development in C# is just dead. Flutter got all the momentum.
Google will move on and then all of the developers who hinged their platforms on it will need somewhere to go to.

> My biggest bugbear is the way you access your config, which is an absolute and utter kafka-esque mess. Because someone at MS was drinking the DI kool-aid you have to add a minimum of 5 lines of code to any class you want to access config values in I'm not sure if maybe you're referring to the Options stuff? The way I do it is pretty simple. 1. Create a POCO that represents your config. You can have properties for b…
Exactly. [Removed due to bad wording].
Plenty of other people piping up saying they also find this bad abstraction obnoxious, sorry you can't empathise and understand we all have difference preferences.

Well, work on your reading comprehension, I clearly said I ended up doing exactly that. Plenty of other people piping up saying they also find this bad abstraction obnoxious, sorry you can't empathise and understand we all have difference preferences.

Is it, actually? I mean, yes of course its 45MB difference, but does this matter? We are not talking about applications downloaded to a browser (webapp) or to a mobile phone. In a time where I download >50GB+ games on Steam and deploy from CI/CD server or docker registries to my servers, is a size of 50MB or 100MB really a showstopper? Don't get me wrong, I totally love 4k and 64k demos and am always fascinated what…
The only environments where self-contained deployment matters are the ones you mentioned: browser, mobile phone, and also desktop. So yes, 45mb is a big difference (actually my app is 250mb).
So, on the plus side with the new .net, I recently made a .net core web app on Linux, and generally it's been pretty easy. I'm also impressed at just how fast asp.net core is compared to asp.net, the time it takes to open your site in debug mode has dropped dramatically, from what used to be 1/2 minute in asp.net to a few seconds in .net core. On the bad side? Mainly the asp.net core team and their push for Dependenc…

On my last project, I just assigned the configs to a static class that's available everywhere and the code was just simply much cleaner.

Can't you just ignore the built in configuration and roll your own (probably there's a dotenv library?). That said, I've also personally moved away from C# despite really likeing the lanaguage due to a lacking ecosystem. I'd recommend both node with TypeScript and Rust for backend web development in a statically typed langauge.
But C# lacks an ecosystem compared to Rust? I don't understand that.
The future is very bright for .NET. It has the right raison d'etre - .NET is part of the growth story for Nadella-Microsoft. They already have you programming in their editors (VS/Code) and pushing to their VCS (Github). They're even teaching you the C# type system with TypeScript :) If they can just convince you to use their stack, Azure will win you over from AWS every time. As a result, I really wanted to adopt .N…

you can use property injection when you use something like autofac as the di container.
Cool, so I'll add another dependency and figure out how to use that, to save myself time having to write out MS's convoluted dependency-injected configuration code.
also as far as I heard, is that microsoft is working on a micro web framework, that does not use di. (something like https://github.com/featherhttp/framework, just more official i guess)
I used to be an asp.net developer before. I appreciated the idea behind asp.net during its early years - making websites fast and with templating (or scaffolding). Later realized that it is bloat. Then asp.net mvc happened, a whole new paradigm shift. But then I disliked the idea of stuff getting inherited from somewhere. *.cshtml files and all. Soon I realized what the ide is actually doing behind the scenes. For e.…
> But I wish stuff was as simple as having a plain editor and getting started. This is the wrong thing to wish for. It's like... wishing for "simpler times" of the pre-modern era. You know, the simpler times without dentistry and plagues that make COVID look downright pleasant. Simpler times of backbreaking manual labour, shovelling ditches by hand. A typical computer can now process 10 billion general-purpose instru…
F# gains string interpolation and typed string interpolation: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-f-5/#string... Knew it was coming but still really happy to see this.
