Why can't you use C#? .Net Core (upcoming .Net 5) are pretty decent to work with. I'd still rather use node for the most part though.

I have been playing with Rust, but not sure about how good an idea it is for the front end yet though.

Well, you can compile the .NET runtime into Wasm, send it to the client and run C# on top of it, but then you are adding yet another layer.

Pretty sure the parent comment was talking about client side.

You can use C# on the front end now with Blazor. It's pretty new though so I don't know how good it is yet.
