You know why PHP is still around? Because it's fucking simple.
The levels of abstraction in Web Frameworks like React/Angular or ASP.NET Core is a little silly. You have to navigate through 4-5 files of logic before you actually get to the rendering of a page.
PHP?
<?php echo "Hello World!"; ?>
If dotnet could give me a syntax and framework as simple as PHP, I think it'd dominate. Just one file (index.cs), not a zillion files and boilerplate.
Bah. I need to recreate a WCF service, but my new version (in .net 4.8) which is just the old code copied into a new project expects different things than the client (.net 3.5) is sending.
I don’t know enough about WCF, this is a legacy project from an old company, just trying to migrate the api away from azure classic before Microsoft shuts it down this summer.
Any experts out there willing to answer questions?
