    I’ve actually found C# quite pleasant to develop with, so long as I didn’t have to worry about targeting non-Windows platforms.

          The standard .NET C# compiler and CLI run on and build for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. You can run your ASP.NET webapps in a Linux docker container, or write console apps and run them on Linux, it doesn’t matter anymore. As a .NET dev I have literally no reason to ever touch Windows, unless I’m touching legacy code from before .NET Core or building a Windows-exclusive app using a Windows app framework.

      Yea this was a crosspost and also just a meme, but C# is my fav

      And really cross-platform has come a LONG way…just as long as you don’t need UI on Linux lolol

    I’m not a big M$-fan but I actually like c# a lot. Java not so much.

    I’m no pro though, I just guerilla-code in my spare time. But of all the languages it’s actually my most used. Besides PPL and ASM 😁

      I have 20 years programming experience and C# is one of my favorite languages. It feels so expressive and doesn’t get in your way nearly as much as Java does. I feel like I’m writing the code I want to write instead of writing the code someone from 30 years ago with a fetish for boilerplate wanted me to write.

      C# is a great language but I’ll always choose Java because the ecosystem around it is so vast. Often times some client library you need has a c# port maintained by one guy and he hasn’t updated in years.

        OK you probably need it more often than I do. But so far, I always found anything I needed for C#. But I’m surely no measure of course, I’m a casual who only codes stuff i, myself, need. And just me/wifey.
