I’ve actually found C# quite pleasant to develop with, so long as I didn’t have to worry about targeting non-Windows platforms.
It’s fully cross platform with .NET Core and later.
What does fully cross platform mean? It sounds very vague and a lot like an exaggeration.
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.
It was even before through mono/xamarin
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
Not really, even GUI is going strong, check Avalonia UI.
Poor Visual J# (literal Microsoft Java) isn’t even in the picture
Sun killed it fast enough so almost nobody remembers.
I’d argue we aborted before it could be born into mainstream
C# is better than java just because it doesn’t have as much brain rotting “DesIgN PaTTeRnS” gurus
A shame there is no real FOSS movement behind it (for what I know) it could do with some modernization.
What do you mean? The entire stack is open source.
I’m just hoping for a more thriving community behind it.
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.
