One really nice thing about C# is that it seems to cover many, many bases.
I had heard about Xamarin in the past and was looking into whether it is a good choice for a simple mobile app idea I have that I’d like to explore.
Well, it turns out Xamarin is deprecated, to be replaced by a new thing called MAUI – the dot net Multi-platform App UI. Also a character from Moana, and the second largest island in Hawaii.
Anyway, whilst for me it is certainly early days in exploring Xamarin or MAUI, I couldn’t help but laugh at the unintentionally damning assessment heaped on MAUI by more experience dot net developers over on Reddit:

Well it made me laugh.
