Hot take (maybe?) C# looks like a great language, better than Java. I wish I had an excuse to use it.
Being a much better language than Java isn't exactly a high bar.
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.
If this were ten years ago, sure.
Use it on Linux daily, no issues here.
There's many reasons to dislike C#, but this is just plain wrong
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 This sounds like a very outdated take tbh.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.
