I code C# for a living, and though I'm trying to get some Node.js experience at work (and thankfully starting to succeed), I still don't think it's on the decline. At least not in the Denver metro area. There's tons of opportunity around here for places that are still doing interesting things in C#. Perhaps we're headed towards the crest of it's popularity, but I think that the tone of this article is a bit premature to be trying to make judgement on how long .NET will stick around.
This is a very intriguing analysis and opinion piece.
The graph on .net and C# is being impacted by the increasing international / global adoption of Android.
iOS is really only strong in the US and in particular California.
Android and the server platforms behind Android are really key. Amazon has done a superb job with AWS.
Certainly not going anywhere anytime soon. It's a bit of an odd article with the author using one .NET developer as the source. The original paper is worth a read but even the author says this won't be happening for quite a long time.
EDIT: Comparisons to any mobile development framework is moot, imo. AWS is neat but Azure is alive and only getting better.
