Changed from Ruby to .NET and loving it.

C# is a great language, it's now very modern and has the best parts of Typescript, while leaving out the bad ones.

It's also extremely fast and multi-platform.

It also doesn't have the fragmentation that Java or JVM langs has.

And it's also open source nowadays. I think Sillicon Valley hasn't caught up with those recent changes, I bet more startups would be using C# if they knew.

I really like C#, but I wouldn't go that far - unions are at least on the horizon, but I've sometimes come to miss the power and flexibility of TS's structural typing...(And so has Hejlsberg, apparently, seeing his reasoning for choosing go over C# for tsc :) )

It was more related to the fact that the existing TS code was more easily ported to Go, and also .NET AOT wasn't mature enough at that time. Structural typing has its own problems. I'm personally not a big fan of it.
