My unsolicited, socially unacceptable pet theory on this: that’s what happens when you’re building your 15th e-commerce web store. C# is a great language, but it’s a worker’s language. Its domains tend to not be the most exciting ones (e-commerce, calcified Excel replacements, Windows desktop applications, …). [1] Hence, so my theory goes, the smart but bored engineering minds wander out and conjure up complications to fill their days and minds. A common pattern in IT I’d say.
