I do get it. .NET now works pretty well on Linux.

But it never was a tier 1 platform during its growth. So most non-Windows devs put their focus on other platforms. There is nothing wrong with that.

I could learn .NET now, but I don't really have an interest to do so at this point; Also, the devs you talk about are on Windows, using their tier 1 IDE (Visual Studio) that only runs on Windows, which is my point exactly.

That's a fair point. Tooling is an important aspect of a language, at least for me. I don't know what the VS Code on Linux experience is like for .net.

I tried to dip my toes into F# out of curiosity, and it worked by following some tutorial and VS Code. But it did seem somewhat bare bones. Although I'll admit I'm spoiled by Rust and IntelliJ.
