What Hacker News says

C# will eventually have unions that will undoubtedly be incompatible too, I worry about source generators becoming ubiquitous as well. This was also my experience with F#, phenomenal language dragged down by ugly interop with an ecosystem that barely acknowledges its existence and I feel is incompatible with its ideals. Shame too because there’s some genuinely great stuff in the community like fable [1] where if you were to chuck in JSX like templating you’d have an absolute killer web tool rather than the mess blazor is. It’s ironic that I found js interop less annoying than .net interop. [1] https://github.com/fable-compiler/Fable
