The State of .NET (vol. 1)
summary
Current state: .NET Core is production-ready and focused on speed—dotnet core 2.1 shows up to 10x faster compile times for large web apps, ~15% faster plain text handling, ~18% faster JSON, and a 147% improvement in some EF Core data paths; system.web.dll 980KB is the legacy bloat ASP.NET Core removes. Roadmap: dotnet core 3.0 adds WinForms/WPF hosting, IoT/AI targets, side‑by‑side and self‑contained apps, and Microsoft now backs Blazor (C#/WASM) as a viable browser option. Choices: pick ASP.NET Core for cloud, Blazor for C# in browser, Angular/React per UI pattern.
