I know, right!<p>However I&#x27;ve shipped a Rails application that&#x27;s started from a zip file I begged off DHH before Rails was even publicly available, and maintained it for years.  I&#x27;ve used Django for a real app within a month or two of the first available Django release, and maintained to this day. Etc.<p>.NET Core goes beyond bleeding edge to point at which you start to wonder in your more crazed hours if it&#x27;s actually just a parody of a poorly developed node.js library.
