@BrianBrackeen @davidfowl Absolutely. If you haven’t checked out .net recently it, deserves a second look. It’s efficient, can target multiple OSes and architectures, and is quite flexible. That being said, a working product and sustainable revenue is more important than the underlying tech stack.

If you have a simple Federal tax return and have to pay to file it this year. Remember that lobbyists at firms including Intuit (Turbo Tax) have fought to prevent this being a free service of the IRS. You deserve better. We all deserve better.

The Inflation Reduction Act includes a directive to the IRS to study a free tax filing program for all Americans. Major tax preparation firms hate the idea.
