Could anyone benevolently compare/contrast the modern development of Java's ecosystem with that of .NET Core?

  I'm more qualified to comment on .NET but the main difference here is that Core was basically starting over on .NET from zero to go cross-platform and then immediately scrambling to get everybody's favorite feature plugged back in. Java seems to be trying to chip pieces off of the standard library by either modularizing or like this, just dropping it from the standard offering.

  In terms of ecosystem the open source world around Java is probably 3-5 times as rich but C# just really started making strides recently. There are hundreds of well tuned data structures, serialization libraries, and infrastructure services with long open source histories.
