I like C# better. Ok, I'll see myself out.
I like C# too. I feel like I shouldn’t because of how Microsoft it is, but I can’t help but see it as a better put together/structured Java when I use it.
I feel the same, but to me, it's more understandable than the other C derivatives. I just understand it better. I've been thinking of diving into rust lately.
More like Java#
In the early days of C#, before it was called C#, Microsoft gave it the most Microsoft name ever conceived for anything ever: Visual J++
I did not realize they were one and the same!
update: i just looked it up and they are not. Visual J++ is a predecessor to C#. Nevertheless, the name "Visual J++" in all its Microsoftian goodness(?) is as good a descriptor as any for what C# turned into
So more an iterative family member, which I suppose was more what I'd expect with how Microsoft hisorically handled programming languages. Still interesting! Thanks for the fact-check!
Me too. If I can use it, I prefer C# — that is — if I’m not doing systems programming, I don’t have to worry about legacy code, and mainly I’m supporting Windows then it’s really quite cozy.
That's a solid description. I'm stealing that. "Cozy" is an excellent word for that sets C# apart from other languages.
