To be fair .NET can't replace the Java ecosystem now and will not replace the Java ecosystem in the following years. It's just not the same thing. Yes C# is way better than Java, but there is so much more going on for Java. For starters Java is truly multi platform and the ecosystem is way richer. So no "people won't even touch .NET because it's not hip", people won't touch .NET because even though it's really good it's not that good, at least not when you take into consideration the whole ecosystem.
- jasonjei 11y agoExactly. OpenJDK and Oracle JDK for the most part are interoperable. In fact, the open-source version of the JRE is the reference standard. You'd be able to run a web application almost out of the box with Java. It wouldn't be so possible with Mono and .NET.
- rubber_duck 11y agoMicrosoft opensourced a cross platform official implementation of .NET called CoreCLR - and altough slightly young you can do what you just said and they support it trough Azure on linux and offer OSX builds. Also Mono took better parts of CoreCLR and made their implementation better. Also Microsoft acquired the company behind mono/Xamarin and given their recent trend will just fold that work in to their OSS offerings (at least partially) So please get your facts straight before commenting on the issue because that's sort of the problen I'm getting at in my post.
- rubber_duck 11y agoSee I don't have a problem with this argument if you really made the evaluation - that is if you really can't find the stuff you need. But I don't ever hear that, at best I see that argument based on assumptions (without checking), and more often it's just "ewwww Microsoft"
