I've seen people write Java or C# like I would write plain C. Those first two are insanely high level with large standard libraries.

- omaranto 8y agoI disagre with "Those first two are insanely high level" but totally agree with the "with large standard libraries." part.

- s3m4j 8y agoTo my eyes just having generics and hiding away pointers and vtables make them very high level, but I think my argument was more about what is coming with the language (aka their standard libraries) and I've definitely seen people ignore the available libraries, even in python.
