Am I weird for liking Java? I feel like it just makes so much more sense than other languages.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 52 points 2 weeks ago (19 children)

C# is nearly the same, but much, much better.

It doesn't (usually) come with the Java culture 8 layers of abstraction. This isn't in the Java language. This isn't in OO. Yet nearly every Java programmer makes things way more complicated than it needs to be.
It's a prettier language. Similar syntax with less bullshit.
It's open source
It's still multiplatform. Modern dotnet / C# works on anything.
Both Visual Studio and Visual Studio code are great IDEs that blow Eclipse out of the water
It's one of the most common business languages.
It's going to be supported forever.

If I could restrict the world of programming to two languages, it'd be C# and Rust. C# for most things and Rust for a lower level language.

Kids will never understand this. The same is with JScript.
