C# is the only language I use professionally and personally. It's easy to pick up and a jack of all trades. It does the job for pretty much anything I'd want it for. Especially now it has Blazor, I don't even need to faff around with frontend frameworks and deal with javascript/typescript, which I never enjoyed doing.

(That said I did recently play around with Svelte, and if you do like frontend frameworks I found it to be the best out there personally)

How does Svelte compare to Vue, if you've tried Vue before? With my degree in Computer Engineering, I never really touched much on the web until I started playing with it for my own projects after I graduated

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Vue, I'm mostly comparing to Angular. The main reason I like Svelte is because it's very quick to get up and running with very little boilerplate. Things that I found quite complicated to implement using Angular can be done in one line (or three) with Svelte. Passing values between components, routing, it's all super simple. If you're mostly interested in backend and just want something easy to use for the front-end I think it's ideal. Documentation isn't bad either.
