What Hacker News says
3 sources> C# is VERY different from even just what things were 2 years ago
C# and TypeScript are converging (both from Anders Hjelsberg).
Small repo here showing just how similar they are syntactically: https://github.com/CharlieDigital/js-ts-csharp
I'm surprised we don't see a bigger uptick in C# usage given the growth of TypeScript and how similar the two languages are. If you know C#, it's pretty easy to pick up TypeScript and vice versa.
In Ask HN: Examples of Top C# Code?.NET and C# as a platform are evolving extremely fast compared to many other runtimes and languages. In fact, it's kind of been converging with JavaScript and TypeScript. I have a small repo here that highlights this: https://github.com/CharlieDigital/js-ts-csharp
If you stopped working with .NET and C# around version 4, the language itself has transformed.
Local functions, pattern matching, records, and more!
