Then you don’t know many languages.

  To be fair, on Linux, getting started with dotnet is actually easier than other languages. The packages provided by Microsoft allows to install multiple version of dotnet side by side and then you can choose which one to use project by project. This is a big improvement compared to rust or python where you have to install and learn third party tools.

    rustup is not a third-party tool. It allows you to install any number of Rust toolchains for any number of architectures side by side (be it stable or nightly).

      The issue with rustup is that it's not integrated in my distro package manager, unlike the dotnet packages.

  Argument better instead of dumb personal attack. I've used/tried a bunch of languages: C, Erlang, F#, PHP, C++, Java, JavaScript, OCaml and Ruby and all had more steps to create and run an executable. Only PHP and JavaScript are simpler if and only if not using any framework.

    PHP is way more complicated because you have to deal with apache, php.ini and what not.

    gcc is included in most Linux distros so you don't even need to download anything Not sure how it can be any easier than gcc main.c && ./a.out

    If not knowing many programming languages is an insult to you, especially considering how many languages there are that refute your claim.. then you need to check your ego.
