The latest .NET version is fully cross platform.
- soundoflight 10y agoAnd runs on more platforms than Java.
- kitd 10y agoCitation needed.
- jinst8gmi 10y agoCare to name some of these platforms which Java doesn't run on which .NET supports? I'm having a hard time coming up with even a very short list.
- rafaelvasco 10y agoWell , not .NET but almost: PS4 (MonoGame/Mono) XBox One (.NET Core on the future and MonoGame/Mono) At least you can run c# code on those platforms. Java though is unlikely to ever happen.
- coldtea 10y agoSo the "platforms" are 2 game consoles?
- soundoflight 10y agoAlso, Xamarin makes .NET runnable on Android with their runtime and compile it down for iOS. .NET Microframework makes it runnable on IoT.
- jinst8gmi 10y agoI don't think Android is a good example of a platform which .NET supports which Java doesn't since Java is the primary development language for Android apps... I'm also pretty sure that embedded Java is widely deployed in IoT applications.
- broodbucket 10y agoIt's far from mature, though, even if it's deemed stable. If I was making decisions for some huge enterprise I'd prefer Java since it's been battletested on Linux for decades.
- spriggan3 10y ago.Net Core =/= .Net
- TheCoelacanth 10y agoThat's .NET Core, which is incompatible with .NET, so it's a completely new ecosystem so it has no where close to the maturity of Java or normal .NET.
- hinkley 10y agoMicrosoft doesn't know the meaning of the word cross platform, and never has. The conditionals on their latest cross platform offering do little to repair that image. They only go far enough to bait and switch you and then after they get you they cut funding for maintenance and the cross platform bits rot away.
- jboles 10y agoThis is a downside of any open-source project and is not specific to Microsoft.
