Easy to Learn

TypeScript and C# are both from Anders Hejlsberg at Microsoft and share a similar design and feel familiar; if you know one, it's easy to learn the other.

Fast and Performant

.NET is a multi-threaded runtime capable of higher throughput compared to JavaScript based frameworks (often an order of magnitude difference!)

Stable and Secure

Tired of half-baked NPM packages? .NET's ecosystem has many mature, battle-tested libraries that are free from the types of attack vectors in JS.

Batteries Included

Many common packages that might be needed from NPM are included in the .NET standard libraries from Microsoft which are also professionally maintained and patched by Microsoft.
