If this happens, I'll be listening to music with the most annoying lyrics on repeat.

I work with .NET for my day job and my team doesn't use any commercial libraries. I haven't felt limited in any sense by the .NET ecosystem. Nearly everything is open-source, too.

Yes, but that's just the default behavior. You can implement your own non-boxing version for performance critical applications.

I wonder if you could use this to evaluate how "truly random" a random number generator is.

If you've ever tried to stop doing something, going 90% of the way (e.g "I'll drink one soda per week") is often much harder than quitting entirely. This is particularly true with addiction where neural pathways need to be changed.

I am a full time .NET developer, experienced with both newer and older .NET versions.

They are confusingly named, but this is the gist: - .NET Framework is the older version that is tied to Windows. - .NET is the newer version that is cross platform, and was renamed from .NET Core.

Linux support is pretty good on .NET. I don't have as much experience with this personally since most of my company is still using .NET Framework, but I was able to get a simple .NET app running on Linux without any hassle.

The main web frameworks I am aware of are Blazor and MVC. Blazor behaves more like a single-page application (without needing JavaScript!) and abstracts away most of the headache of making dynamic web pages, but generally doesn't scale as well from what I have seen. MVC is a little more traditional but you need to write some JavaScript for interactivity.

I'm not fully sure what you mean by GUI heavy. Everything I am aware of can be accomplished with the CLI tooling.

I like plain oatmeal. I wouldn't say it's "good" in most qualitative senses.

"Cultivating taste" might mean less capacity to tolerate or enjoy things that are fine-but-not-great.
