On: Why I'm no longer giving up on C#

I've become a bit of an evangelist on this recently, but ServiceStack absolutely rocks. Open source and runs on Mono as well.

ServiceStack is stuck on .NET 3.5 unfortunately. No taking advantage internally of dynamic or async; especially async. Kinda sucks.

It doesn't need async. async is one of those things that MS has been pushing that really is a double edged sword. People think "omg I absolutely NEED async now"... when people have being solving scalability issues before MS made it so easy. Now people are going "oh ill just use async" rather than fixing the actual problem for their slow web applications.
