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 😁
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.
Also, optional value semantics. I love value semantics!
Poor Visual J# (literal Microsoft Java) isn’t even in the picture
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.
It was even before through mono/xamarin
True, but what I’m really talking about is the unbeatable user experience of having an application that looks and feels as if it were a native Windows application, because it is and has that first-class platform support straight from the vendor.
With that said, most new cross platform applications today are probably more like electron or Web apps.
Ok, there’s no such thing as native Windows apps for Linux, but there are cross platform GUI frameworks like Avalonia and Uno that can produce apps with a polished identical experience across all platforms, no electron needed
Qt is my favourite, though it’s not .NET.
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.
Or realistically on Mac. Mac Catalyst is neat but you’re basically building an iPad UI and afaik that’s all that MAUI supports still
Yeah C# gets a bad rap. I spent a decade developing in C++, and Java before switching to C# because of program requirements. Now I never want to go back.
C# development was spearheaded by Anders Hjelsberg, one of the brains behind Borland Delphi/Object Pascal.
Does it get a bad rap outside of this meme? I’ve only heard praise. It’s by far my favorite language
It’s IMO getting a bit oldish, it’s nice for small projects (up to medium sized I guess, after that I don’t see the benefits over say C/C++ but that’s just my opinion) but there are a lot of improvements that could be done I think.
The language is open source IIRC, so it could be done I guess, like C/C++ has new versions every some years.
I have used many languages in my 25 years of programming. C# is the best.
So javascript is wario?
Who would be Waluigi?
