Did you spend any significant time working with C#?

  > Did you spend any significant time working with C#? I have no experience with it at the corporate level. There, I have seen, it mixes a lot with .NET. So, I guess that the corporate equivalent to Java is "C#/.NET". I spend some time several years ago with C# in Unity3D, thou. I really liked the C# language. I found the Auto-Implemented Properties a neat compromise between encapsulation and verbosity (Verbosity has no value if does not add information). Java is trying to be everything to everyone and that is a mistake. I liked Java more in the past, and I would have added just a few things from the past iterations of the language (e.g. Modules is a good idea that actually simplifies the language and moves much code to "frameworks" instead of being part of the core language). C# seemed more focused on its initial style were Java is stretching all over the place.

    You haven't used much LINQ, pattern matching, spans, ranges, default interface methods, non null references in C#, I guess.

      You are right. I see that some of that features were added much later on. For non null references, I used to work with C++ and I really liked some of its reference/pointer/smart-pointer semantics even that everything can be used also really badly. I have done some basic training in Rust, and I am happy to see that it seems quite close at the way I was using C++. But, I see C# in the future replacing part of what Javascript does nowadays once WebAssembly takes off. I would like to learn more about that.
