On: The future of Java and OpenJDK updates without Ora...

.NET Core is a nice step from Microsoft, but even 2.1 still only supports a fraction of .NET enterprise software, let alone Java comparable software solutions and host platforms.

We're roughly what 3 years in? It's to be expected, but what it does currently support is fairly impressive. Having used ASP .NET Core on a couple of projects I would say it covers enough for web development, right after Python I'd much rather do web development in C# as a result.

I do agree though it isn't a completed product yet, but what's already there is fairly capable depending on what you're working on.

It is impressive, and I do spend most of my time on it, but there is still lots of work to be done.

.NET 3.0 will close the gap, but there are lots of .NET Framework features that aren't even on the migration roadmap.

Enterprise stacks are a different animal than plain web sites, where integration between existing platforms plays a major role.

The likes of SAP, Oracle, Rational, Enterprise Architect and similar software are not yet there.
