    Sorry, what’s .Net again?

    The runtime? You mean .Net, or .Net Core, or .Net Framework? Oh, you mean a web framework in .Net. Was that Asp.Net or AspNetcore?

    Remind me why we let the “Can’t call it Windows 9” company design our enterprise language?

      .net core is not a thing anymore in case somebody it’s not aware, now is just .net. (unless you use really old version of course).

    • Can’t call it Windows 9

      But that actually made sense! They care about backwards compatibility.

      For those not in the know: some legacy software checked if the OS name began with “Windows 9” to differentiate between 95 and future versions.

      And then there’s .net classic and .net core. Making up two entirely separate names shouldn’t be difficult for marketing executives.

        .NET Core doesn’t exist any more. It’s just .NET now. I think that changed around the release of .NET 5?

        The classic version is mostly legacy at this point too.

          Just because it’s no longer supported doesn’t mean there’s not some poor intern refactoring spaghetti backend in a basement somewhere using it.
