I used this stack to replace a Django/Python app that was built over 2 years by another dev in 2 weeks. We regularly have 1 hour turn arounds between when an issue/feature is filed on Github and when a new build is live with that code. The self-contained deployments have made it simple to deploy this app, and now its supporting apps, to our linux-based cloud instances.

As proof: https://github.com/AccelerateNetworks/NumberSearch

I've built on many stacks and although I agree that iteration speed is important; It has more to do with how you organize your project and the quality of your tooling than with the specific language/framework.

If you don't like the OOPy style, don't write in it. Pattern matching in C# is quite nice, and you can always mark you functions as static. As a bonus, simple functions are easier to test to.

  Core functionality needed to create .NET Core projects, that is shared between Visual Studio and CLI (by dotnet)

  

I run and develop on the x64 versions of dotnet core 3.1 and dotnet 5 on my M1 Macbook Air every day and don't have problems. It runs via Rosetta 2 translation, and probably isn't as fast or memory efficient as it could be, but I don't have major issues and it runs a lot faster and keeps my mac cooler than if I try to run in Windows on ARM in Parallels.

I use VS for Mac 2019 (x64) and VS Code (arm64) for development work on a near daily basis.

That said, I tried installing the arm64 dotnet 6 preview and it broke the x64 versions I had installed and although I could debug/attach in VS Code, I could not get it to debug in VS fr Mac 2019.

From what I understand, the issue is that the dotnet binary for x64 got replaced with the arm64 one. There is only one on the system at a time and the arm64 version doesn't know how to work with the x64 architecture sdks/runtime. There is some discussion and links to related issues in this GH issue: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/16896

Regarding SQL, I use the Docker Azure SQL Edge arm64 image and it works okay for most thing but doesn't support some of the more advanced features like full text search or spatial types.

For Database Projects (dacpac), Azure Data Studio with the Database Projects extension works okay for basic editing and deployment. However, it's not nearly as complete or refined as the database project edit/deploy experience in the Windows version of VS 2019. As far as I can tell it doesn't create new refactorlog entries for renamed objects and I can't figure out how to create a new deployment profile so I have to select the database connection every time I deploy.

I have been running the x64 build of dotnet 6 preview 4 and now preview 5 for a while and have not many issues. One thing that happened is that it broke the dacpac deploy in Azure Data Studio but there was a relatively simple workaround -- added a configuration setting in Azure Data Studio to override the dotnet SDK path to point to a folder where I had put dotnet 5.
