    Hot take (maybe?) C# looks like a great language, better than Java. I wish I had an excuse to use it.

      Tbh it’s just microsoft java with worse support on GNU/Linux

      The only reason I used it were the unity libraries

        Microsoft made so many javas (remember Visual J++ or J#?), C# is the only one that survived. Well, Microsoft now also ships OpenJDK, apparently.

        Java feels archaic compared to C#. I am not sure what problems you’re having on Linux? This sounds like a very outdated take tbh.

        Definitely not the case. I’ve been doing C# for over 20 years. For the last 6 years I’ve used it to write Linux services exclusively.

        The “Java” relation was true 20 years ago, and the “Linux” argument was true 7 years ago. But neither hold any water anymore. It’s a great language and framework to write a wide variety of software with.
