No, it is not a nice development ecosystem. Visual studio is a good IDE for c++ and c# development. Eclipse is slightly better on Windows than on Linux. In Linux, the whole OS is development friendly.
- dijit 9y agoOk, but you must understand that I'm going on the word of 500~ developers. Maybe they selection bias themselves for Windows affinity but a lot have development experience with Linux too and smirk at things like epoll with absolute derision. I'm not a developer myself but seeing how they work on Windows is definitely impressive.
- fzzzy 9y agoThey smirk at epoll but are happy with IOCP? That seems... unlikely to me.
- dijit 9y agoI don't know, like I said, I'm not a developer myself, however I thought epoll was universally criticised for being poor. I researched a little after I was told (while pushing linux) that things like epoll were why they would never use it. I did manage to convince them to write their storage backend on FreeBSD because that uses kqueues and has ZFS. https://idea.popcount.org/2017-02-20-epoll-is-fundamentally-broken-12/ https://idea.popcount.org/2017-02-20-epoll-is-fundamentally-...
