True, but even now the C# library ecosystem is lacking compared to e.g. JVM/JavaScript/Python ecosystems. And that's definitely because it was historically closed source and mostly (but not entirely) single-platform.


I dont agree with "C# library ecosystem is lacking". The nuget ecosystem is massive, and the paid offerings side is much larger (owing to more of an enterprise audience generally). There arent a lot of well known projects that _run_ on the CLR like there are on the JVM, but the in-language ecosystem is just as robust as those other ecosystems if not more so.


> the paid offerings side is much larger

The fact that a lot of the offerings are paid is a massive negative to me. I don't know of any other language ecosystem that is like this.
