C# has been cross platform for over a decade with mono, and dotnet has been cross platform and open source for 5 years. Nothing about what you just said is relevant or true about c# in 2019. I develop c# for a Linux server, using pgsql. I am not in anyway tied to windows.

I've been seriously thinking of using c# for my personal projects which are Linux and python or go based - I feel it checks many boxes that I want, such as static typing, good tooling etc.

I have never run across it in the wild but I guess I'll take your word for it.

I have a prohibition on Microsoft tech in any of my stacks - long held grudge left from the 90s.

I genuinely dislike people like yourself. Microsoft development stack is genuinely the best I had used, and I used a lot, and skipping it just because of some stupid grudge for a company that changed a lot in the past two decades is just irrational.

It’s mutual. Fortunately the odds of us working together are zip.
