>and the fact it's so tied to windows

Dotnet Core is not tied to windows except for certain frameworks like wpf (and there are alternatives for it that work everywhere), credential store.

And it's actually really good to use these days.

Yup, common misconception for folks that haven't used it in a decade.

Our team uses C#. We dev on Apple silicon Macs. Some use Rider, others just use VS Code. We build on Linux via GitHub Actions. Ship to prod running AWS t4g Arm64 instances.

C# to me is like TypeScript++. The language, syntax, and core constructs are close enough that anyone with a good handle on JS and TS can pick it up easily and be productive.

I'm 100% sure your code integrates with the linux ecosystem as an american tourist in europe :D

Sorry for the segue, but how your team's experience with C# on VSCode? Any recommendations for plugins? I've heard of a lot of people recommend Rider but not much, aside from neonsunset, talk about VSCode.

Great.

C# DevKit is really all you need (and the same plugins you would normally have like GitLens, etc.).

Refactoring experience isn't as good as Rider (JetBrains are kings of refactoring tooling). But for all other cases VS Code is fast and ergonomic.

Rider does have some nice things for supporting working with SQL databases that I do envy once in a while.

		Just in case: DevKit is optional and requires an account, you can just use the base C# extension which is what provides the language server and the debugger, if you prefer VSCodium there's a fork of it which packs Samsung-authored netcoredbg instead of vsdbg so that is covered too. For F# - Ionide works great, I like it a lot, integrates seamlessly with existing C# projects.
