Why I'm Not Leaving .NET
summary
Argues that .NET is now cross‑platform, fast and deployable as tiny native binaries: using CoreRT and the IL compiler a simple ASP.NET Core app becomes a native single-file executable (demo sizes ≈6 MB on Windows, ≈7 MB on Linux), so no runtime install and instant startup; AOT paths target LLVM/C++ for better optimization; ASP.NET Core + CoreRT can yield ~10 MB app + 5 MB Alpine Docker image; ecosystem size is concrete: 880,000 NuGet packages and 3 billion downloads.
