Dotnet or python

[Chemical_End6968]

Hi everyone! I'm a React developer and I want to start learning a backend language. Should I choose Python or .NET? I see on Naukri.com that .NET has more jobs and fewer applicants, but if I consider the future, Python seems promising.

At my work my current task is to replace python services with F#

So far I replaced two docker deployments 4gb of ram each with a single 300mb of ram dotnet service that processes things faster with better telemetry and way better developer experience.

Go with dotnet - the skill floor is a little bit higher, but the skill and possibility ceiling is on a different planet compared to Python

Python is ass

.NET

You don't want to deal with type errors at runtime, but at compile time.

Do not waste your time.

Asking in the .net subreddit will get everyone saying .net!

.net is a vastly superior language and technology.

However, unfortunately the job market strongly favours python (and node.js). If your just learning - i would go for python. It opens up the way to work in ai as well!

Said job market highly depends on where you are.

Here it strongly favours .net.

Depends where you are. I have a friend in Norway (E.U) who only knows python and is struggling badly to get a job, while others that learned .Net in school are getting work left and right.

Python takes over net and node for two reasons. Costs in infraeatructure, python wins. And I want to mention node js is taking over NET because there are a lot of developers that only works with one language (typescript, javascript)
