And I can say the opposite is true at Credit Suisse and the Royal Bank of Canada and WalMart and Toyota and Chevron and AT&T ... What of it.

  > And I can say the opposite is true at Credit Suisse and the Royal Bank of Canada and WalMart and Toyota and Chevron and AT&T ... You can say that. Not sure what it has to do with the subtopic of JPMC backend, in context. To your new point (which was the original contention), language use is difficult to track, in aggregate. To assert that Java is more used than C# would require some evidence. Every metric from any public source (eg https://githut.info/ https://githut.info/ to http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Language+popularity http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Language+popularity which is a different way to slice it), doesn't place C# in the top 5. This is because it's not used more widely than Java, precisely because the .NET runtime resulted in an inferior VM, but also because the ecosystem is less stable, imo. I'm confident that some form of C# will outlast Microsoft.
