.NET is just a runtime, not problematic at all, and definitely doesn’t deserve to be lumped in with ads, spyware, and AI.
We should also get rid of the Windows C++ Redistributable packages as well!
Might as well get rid of Windows after that
It's probably Microsofts best product
Probably Microsoft's best stupidest name too, except maybe renaming the remote desktop app to "Windows App".
I hate that rename so much, it makes it impossible to search anything about it. Another fun fact is the process name for "Windows App" is Windows365.exe 🤦
But it's so sloooowwww

no its not.
It's only slow if you're running a slow computer. Anyway it's way faster than all your electron apps which each insist on taking up four for gigabytes of RAM

Maybe have a look at https://michaelscodingspot.com/csharp-performance-vs-c/
Native what? AoT compiled dotnet code? Bad C++ code?
I suppose bad C++ code if those are the only options?
Of course not. But saying an entire framework is bad is silly. That is my entire point. Thanks for agreeing with me.
Yep. Plenty of games depends on it too.
