.NET has to win the title for worst naming. If you didn't know what it was, this announcement makes no sense whatsoever. All you would guess is there are probably 9 others that were just like it.

Lol, even this is not true. For the current runtime/stdlib package known as ".NET", they started numbering at 5. The actual sequence (only counting major version numbers) is: .net framework 1, 2, 3, 4, .net core 1, 2, 3, .net 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Easily the worst naming/version history for any product (worse than Windows).


I'm still reminding other devs that it's not ".NET Core" anymore (and hasn't been for years), it's just .NET.
