> CSharp once again showing it is the best language in terms of features and improvements.
That's a pretty sweeping generalization. Most of the headline features in the article are already in other languages e.g. Scala.
- hacker_9 10y agoThe difference being CSharp is actually used by a large number of people. Scala is not even in the top 10 used languages [0]. [0] http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/
- jinst8gmi 10y agoYour comment was about C# being "the best language in terms of features and improvements", nothing about usage numbers. I agree that C# is far more widely used than Scala, but Scala is being used by significant numbers of developers esp. for Spark. Tiobe is also widely regarded as a pretty poor indicator of language adoption.
