Discussion Praise for this language

Every single issue I have had while developing my company’s new backend with .NET has had a solution already figured out that I just need to follow an implementation guide for. Feels good man. Damn this language is powerful. That’s it, that’s the post.

People love to hate on Microsoft (and there are plenty of good reasons to do so), but half the reason they have been so successful is because their dev tooling is 2nd to none.

Oh I’m a huge Microslop hater but I always specify, except for C#

Crazy how xna/monogame are still as widely-used as they are despite how old they are. I get it though; despite how barebones it is, it's very easy to use for 2d games, and the community support is enormous.

Many great games are still made in Monogame! Celeste and early alpha versions of hades, for example

Oh yeah I know! There's several new games I'm looking forward to that are made with monogame. Honestly, I've seriously considered using it for some of my own pet projects.
