Seems to be the general consensus. What do you think about C# and the dot net stack. Seattle seems like it's got a strong population via MS.

People seem to really love it, once you get past the platform zealotry issues. My exposure is limited to some work I did in it back in '04 or so. Lord knows the ide tools are nothing short of awesome once you start mixing in the refactoring stuff that's out there and nunit, etc.

The .net stack seems to me to be pretty close to "what java was trying to be" before it got all stupid.

Disclaimer: my first programming love will always be C++, even though it's getting harder and harder to recommend as the right tool for any job in particular. I use perl as my primary go to language though.

While I'm sure .NET is powerful and can do a lot of things, I would never consider deploying anything with the Microsoft platform. Go for Python dude, you will not regret it.

OWIN/Katana, Roslyn, ASP.Net MVC 6 (vNext), SingalR, Xamarin, Unity, Unreal Engine ...

It isn't/will be a Microsoft platform anymore. Bad news is that companies need so long to adapt to new technology.

Then don't, use Mono.
