You have the great Windows ML experience. :)

Guess why Microsoft hired Guido and other Python devs, who gets the whole Python experience on VSCode, or introduced Python as better option to Excel, in detriment of .NET addins.

People forget that nowadays .NET is only yet another language on DevDiv, check the developer blogs for all languages.

That was F# failure as well, trying to cater to data science for its relevance, while other Microsoft departments double down on Python.

I'm never touching Windows again to be fair. They'd have to decouple it from their marketing departments sins. I see way more AI libraries in Rust that are as capable as Python libraries than I see for .NET for example. The diffusers library has a Rust equivalent, is there a true .NET equivalent?
