I've been in and around platform development in the .NET space for over a decade (not as a developer, I stopped programming for the web in like 2002 because I couldn't stand the the entire front end paradigm).

My biggest issue with .NET has always been how slow it is compared to <insert any popular server side scripting language here>.

Is there hope?

lol



I've always found that someone complaining that XXX is slow is just writing very bad code.

C# is blazing fast, but there's plenty of ways to write boneheaded-slow code.


It has always out performed Python and Ruby. While it usually falls behind Java in general performance. It seems to win in startup time which is important for scripts.
