    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’ve actually found C# quite pleasant to develop with, so long as I didn’t have to worry about targeting non-Windows platforms.

        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

      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

        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.
