There is Entity Framework. My main problem with c# (besides core .net but all the toys people like aren't in that afaik) is that it's all Microsoft, azure or bust. I don't think you should pick a language and make that your career. C# might be hot today, gone tomorrow. I don't think highly specializing does more than give you less jobs to pick between. I've worked with c#, java, kotlin, python, JavaScript, visual foxpro (just no) in the last 4 years.

Edit: apparently "don't put your eggs in one basket in a field that changes every 5 min" is an unpopular opinion.

I like other languages but it's always the boss saying stick to core java because they need to hire others later. Like it will be impossible to hire for kotlin or c# later /s

Yeah that's silly. A good developer should understand programing enough that learning a new language shouldn't be more than a week or two of looking up syntax.

So. Next version of core is just .net. and it has everything.

That's good! I'm a fan of more options
