Ask HN: NET Core a Viable Alternative to Django and Rails?

5 pointsby atrudeauover 6 years ago
I've done a fair bit of web development in Django, Rails, and Laravel, but recently have been working on some C# desktop applications. I've found C# delightful to use. LINQ in particular is absolutely wonderful. I was wondering if anybody has experience with using .NET Core as an alternative to Django et al? I love almost everything about Django, except for the lack of static typing due to Python. I would like an ORM that offers composable queries, migrations, and a built-in administration interface like Django offers.

I find .NET Core to be much better than Django. EF Core is great and mature.<p>The admin interface isn&#x27;t built in, but the C# ecosystem is huge, and you can easily find one that suits your needs.<p>When considering language usability, safety, ecosystem, stability, support, performance, and popularity together, I wouldn&#x27;t use any other stack. I want to use F# or Rust, but I&#x27;m worried I won&#x27;t be able to hire enough people who know them already.

The main contention in industry is - It is not a viable alternative unless it has robust support for non-Windows based OS.<p>I can&#x27;t wrestle with them but I don&#x27;t have to. I am comfortable with Windows.

I&#x27;ve play a little bit with netcore but I still have the feeling that people are more for enterprise business and not so much packages. I like more the rails&#x2F;django community :)<p>biased opinion :)
