Besides no strict typing, Godot also has a huge issue with string-based development. Everything is a string. I'm surprised calling GDScript functions isn't done with string literals like "function"()

It must be one old article, because what rounds the corner is .NET 7, while .NET 6 and minimal APIs have been available for a better part of a year already

You're right, seems I was misinformed and didn't do as much reading as I had to. Edited my comment to stop the misinformation from propagating.

.NET 6 Released 5 years ago

XAML is good for structure, same way HTML is. But by god is styling it a major PITA of boilerplate nesting hell

It's an attractive target. Other ecosystems (maybe besides Rust) rely on large packages with minimal dependencies, and those packages are often first-party (Entity Framework, for example).

NPM meanwhile is a neverending net of tiny oneliner packages, required by other oneliner packages, required by twoliner packages, required by single-function packages, required by... required by React. And thus, adding malware to `is-number` adds it to all 8766235452 packages that depend on it.

VS is great for desktop apps since it has the designer and some other tooling, but for everything else Rider is miles ahead, in my opinion.

Especially when it comes to web. Visual Studio still dies of stroke as soon as someone dares whisper the word "razor" in its vicinity, while Rider has no problem understanding Razor templates and providing full autocompletion.

Not to mention Rider is just straight out snappier. And has integrated terminal without any need for extensions.
