I wonder....

Of all of the new languages and frameworks that pop up every day, I'd like to know how many developers actually use them, other than the people who created them. :confused:

For each one, that pops up every day? Good luck getting those figures. It's not like you can even assume that because something's made by a large company, that it's not at risk of being a dead end either. There was a discussion here just a few days ago about projects that have ended up at [Killed by Google](https://killedbygoogle.com/). Personally I wouldn't even write a document using Google docs; that's as much trust in them as I have left, at this point. I tend not to jump on anything new until it has simmered for a few years, is very much active, and has a large community behind it. I'm looking at a release date table right now, and based on that - .NET was at v3.5 before I moved over from C++. I've finally just started putting together my first small prototype app using .NET Core recently, and judging from discussions here and elsewhere on its WinForms support, I'm glad I waited this long. I never bought into WPF, and based on recent stories, I'm less convinced than ever as to whether I should commit anything to it or not. Coding for the web? I hope to retire before I have no choice but to start doing that.

My last couple of projects had book content and led to a "content reading" framework; which I rolled myself. I find that's usually the case; if you want to make progress instead of bending your ideas to a framework. So, no, the only framweork I use is the .NET framework. (And no 3rd parties)

I'm currently using Blazor. So far so good.

Reminds me of Silverlight ... but I do enjoy Blazor.

:sigh: I loved Silverlight, we used it for 20+ bank applications accessed from all over the world, easy to deploy, low bandwidth, wonderful stuff. I still have not forgiven MS for trashing it!

Same... but ... the death of Silverlight was the direction by browsers away from embedded objects... killed off flash too.

Only if you use web assemblies. And I don't. Also, switching between rich client and server application is not that painful even for an existing project. I think Microsoft has learned their lessons with Silverlight.

Silverlight was very close to WPF. Uno[^] is the modern Silverlight. Blazor United[^] will be very interesting... Can't wait to see a version beyond the current prototype.

Those that live on the bleeding edge should be prepared to bleed.
