Great point! In fact current dotnet core site was hugely inspired by golang one (IMO).
Just take a look: &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;dot.net&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;dot.net&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;
There&amp;#x27;s also a great 20 lesson in-browser interactive tutorial (there&amp;#x27;s also F# and VB version!): &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.microsoft.com&amp;#x2F;net&amp;#x2F;tutorials&amp;#x2F;csharp&amp;#x2F;getting-started&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.microsoft.com&amp;#x2F;net&amp;#x2F;tutorials&amp;#x2F;csharp&amp;#x2F;getting-start...&lt;/a&gt;
I&amp;#x27;d also like to stay on this cool dot.net domain though, microsoft.com might scare people.</text></comment>
