    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

              Good lord, I’ve never seen anyone say this in public. I used Qt Creator for a couple of years and I found the combination of C++ for under the hood and Javascript for the UI to be a fantastic way of ensuring a nearly nonexistent base of developers who could competently do both. Maybe they grow on trees in Finland, I dunno. And maybe you’re talking about some other “Qt”, I also dunno.

              I’ve done C# and Java extensively as well and I would never choose Qt over them. I might choose Qt over Objective-C, however.

      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

      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.

        I’ve used many languages/platforms in my 30 years of programming (take that!), including Visual Basic, C, C#, Java, Objective-C and C++. I agree that C# is the best but not by much. They all do pretty much the same things - if one language lacks something that other languages have shown to be beneficial, that something tends to get incorporated in a future update in some form or another, and their glaring weaknesses tend to get corrected as well (like when Objective-C mostly did away with the need to explicitly release fucking everything).
