I abandoned .NET over a lack of http2 support as well. The reason? It uses an HTTP implementation baked into the windows kernel. Wtf?

So not only does it lack HTTP2 support on Linux but also non-evergreen versions of windows.

And yes Go is the new competitor for Java, .NET core is a footnote because it has no open source community support.

I'll agree that C# is perhaps the best designed language I've ever used, but it seems that Microsoft decided to open it up many years too late to save it's market share.

Their best bet is creating native Java library interoperability. Third parties have been offering for years, but if it was baked in MS might just have a chance
