alt Hacker NewsDid really well, unfortunately.
There is almost no dog fooding on Windows development since version 8, Typescript team rather rewrite the compiler in Go, Azure has plenty of Go, Rust and Java projects alongside .NET.

Well, .NET is just not in the same class as Go and Rust.
Go is, essentially, nearly perfect at what it does - even if the language itself leaves much to be desired and would ideally be much safer.
Microsoft should up their game. They have a few research languages in development.
They've always been great with languages. Hopefully, they rise to the occassion.

Microsoft does use Go/Rest/Java in places but they still have a ton of .Net.
Windows Development is not "We are not dogfooding", it's that incentives are misaligned with customer wants.
.Net team incentives are aligned with customer wants, provide a language that is highly performant and easy enough to write.
