should there be any mention about .net core vs full .net? Also databases?

[obcilion]

C# is a great language, but do you guys know how much it's used for new/existing projects compared to Ruby, Python, PHP etc?

[mcMickJuice]

Where I live (Minneapolis) .NET developers are in high demand and they're writing their code in C#. I know it differs by region and I'm a little biased as I started off as a .NET developer but if I'm starting a new project, I am choosing .NET/C# over ruby and php for the tooling and language support alone.

Moreover C# is a more popular language than ruby, python and php and while it's market share has dipped a bit (which I think is due to node.js) .NET Core being cross platform and coming to full maturation will cause the language usage to go back up.

Dependency Injection

I wouldn't mark Unity as yellow, at least not alone.
I would place 3-4 major IoC frameworks: Autofac, Castle.Windsor, Unity.
MEF is a little different, it should be marked as 'cool to know'.

Frameworks

Frameworks should not recommend WCF as it's currently on hold for port to .NET Core (and would scare people away, anyway).

Web frameworks: ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Core, NancyFx, ASP.NET WebAPI
ORMs: NHibernate, EntityFramework, Dapper

Testing

XUnit should be 'yellow', as it is currently used in production for most of the projects by Microsoft themselves.
Also include mocking frameworks: NSubstitute and Moq.

Package managers

Package managers should have also MyGet and Paket marked as 'grey'.

Market share

In Europe .NET + Java are dominant technologies in enterprise market (Python, Node.js and Go are on the rise though). I've seen a lot of adoption by startups too, mostly due to rise of .NET Core.
Current big sites using .NET that you probably know? StackOverflow is a great example.

Hey thanks for opening the issue but we are not intentionally expanding Java, Go or C# to keep it a little less messy
