What a waste. C# has properties. If Java wasn't so against breaking forwards compatibility, Java could actually be a good language. It was good in 1995 but the changes since then have been too slow and too late.
- WClayFerguson 6y agoAbout 1998 when Microsoft tried to invent their own "flavor" of Java, I lost all interest in the company, and that's right when I switched from a C++ developer to Java. C# was just another "copy" of the VM concept Java had, as you well know. Even if C# was superior under the hood (which it isn't) I still claim it just fragmented the industry and was just an example of a company creating their own proprietary stuff for their own self-serving reasons, and before you think you're correcting me, yes I know the CLR is supposed to be machine independent. When VBScript was finally yanked out of browsers the world celebrated. I will openly admit however when VSCode came along and TypeScript I totally regained a new love for Microsoft, and they have redeemed themselves, also by accepting Linux into their dying OS.
