.NET was slower than the JVM before .NET Core but nowadays it's faster.

Nope .NET is still slower than molasses in comparison to most JVM implementations.

.net core is generally faster than java at this point.

.net core is old now as if this last month. Now it’s just .Net 5, which is faster still.

Did I miss the announcement? But AFAIK .NET 5 isn't production ready yet.

Released doesn't mean it's production ready :-)

> It’s already in active use by teams at Microsoft and other companies, in production and for performance testing.

Apparently it's production ready-ish.

They do test it on their software

Ah yes I missed the announcement. Thanks! They say VS 16.8 supports it (I have VS 16.8.2) but it doesn't offer .NET 5 projects only core and regular.
