YC Software Startups: Value and Initial Programming Language Used
Fascinating to see how heavily Ruby and Python feature. The things that surprised me by their absence and near absence were languages I love: JS and C#That said, this is taking now well established startups that will have begun their lives 5+ years ago in general. If I was picking a back end stack then I'd probably hesitate before picking the .NET Framework. But these days I'd easily pick .NET Core.Likewise, I'd want a statically typed back end and 5 years ago I'd probably have hesitated before using TypeScript and node together. Now I do it regularly.Would be super interesting to see the same chart in 5 years with companies starting now.
