    Even if you look at Microsoft’s by far most popular GitHub project, they’re still only half as big as SupaBase. If you believe “the SupaBase story”, SupaBase grew and became twice as large as Microsoft in 3 years. Below is their likes over time if you’re curious, together with a couple of additional “too good to be true” Silicon Valley projects.

    1 project | /r/angular | 10 Dec 2023
    yes I watched several courses, may be aim not getting clearly. but i worked with asp.net which uses http call and firebase cloud function also which uses socket connection, for socket connection its makes sense to use observable bcoz there streams of data we can observe once the connection establish ,but for http it need to be call every time.

    As I'm not utilizing ASP.NET, despite its resource-intensive nature and occasional unpredictability, I prefer the cost-free option. I'm hesitant to invest in EPPlus or engage in trials, and moreover, I am more proficient with Interop. Given the limited volume of records in my department, there's a preference for utilizing tools covered by our existing license. This avoids the need for navigating through layers of approval within the chain of command and ensures compliance with our contractual agreements and Microsoft's patch management, ultimately aligning with a cost-saving mindset.

    > There's definitely things they tried to improve on that... weren't really improvements. The way "assemblies" are matched in .NET is much more sophisticated- the goal there was to try to kill DLL hell. It evolved into the Global Assembly Cache, which is sort of the Windows Registry of DLLs. Not a huge fan of those bits.

    The Global Assembly Cache did not make the jump to the modern .NET (Core). There was the thing called `dotnet store`, but it’s broken since .NET 6: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/24752

    The assembly redirection hell has also been greatly reduced there.

    I do the same.

    I have a small write-up here: https://chrlschn.dev/blog/2023/10/end-to-end-type-safety-wit...

    You get end-to-end type safety (even better once you connect it to EF Core since you get it all ways to your DB).

    With this setup with hot-reload (currently broken in .NET 8 [0]), productivity is really, really good. Like tRPC but with one of the most powerful ORMs out there right now.

    That's a twisted and wrong narrative

    Unity like refers to a Editor driven approach

    Unity became popular with its moonscript language (javascript like), they then ditched it to focus on C#, but what propelled unity to what it is today is the Editor driven approach, not c#, not DOTS

    They are forced to transpile C# to C++ via IL2CPP as a result to target consoles/mobiles

    C# is a disease when it comes to console/mobile support

    It's a substantial dependency, quite heavy

    And you are not free of unity like fuck ups, it's a microsoft language after all:

    https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/22247

    And let's not forget when they changed the license of their debugger overnight to prevent people from using it in their products (jetbrains for example)

    And them deprecating open source tooling to a proprietary/closed one for vscode (c# devkit)

    Let's be careful when we recommend evil as an alternative to evil ;)

    Another difference you might be surprised by is that the .NET tooling by default collects various data from your system and sends it to Microsoft [1]. If you want to avoid this (and still want to use .NET) you'll have to make sure that the environment variable DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT is set in all contexts before touching anything.
