Wow , is .NET that popular in startups ?

I always assumed it was used heavily in enterprise but never that much it's would somehow , it's also a popular stack in the Silicon Valley and NY. That said London and UK are well know to be MS Stack users.

Can some Engineers from SF or NY or voice their opinions on this ?

When you look at the job postings in your browser, and do a simple string search for ".net" (so not a regex search), it doesn't show up all that often. E.g. if I look at this month's posts (4 pages), I see it 31 times. By contrast, Python shows up 251 times. I suspect the posts were searched with a regex like /.net/i without escaping the ".".

The answer is less deep than that. Hacker News is now regularly used as a recruiting tool. It may be that bigger companies are now also posting every month. .NET has come a long way though and I have a friend who is using it at his place, but from anecdotal evidence I see a lot more Python and JavaScript than anything.
