Unlikely: The C# runtime costs money, yet C# devs are as well paid as Java devs.
- jallmann 15y agoThe .NET runtime doesn't cost money. The tools to write .NET programs cost money. Some of them.
- mseebach 15y agoThe .NET runtime is a part of Windows which costs money. Mono falls in the same category as OpenJDK: Not relevant for this discussion.
- thedeuce 15y agoif mono and openjdk are not relevant than neither are 0$ unsupported operating systems to run java on, at which point those operating systems cost equivalent $.

- dextorious 15y agoThe money Windows cost are nothing compared to Oracle fees. You can buy Windows server editions for less that a developer's week salary. You'll need MUCH MUCH more than that for Oracle.
- mseebach 15y agoIt's very unlikely that the license to run the commercial JVM will cost the same as a license to run the Oracle DB. These are two very different beasts. In fact, I would guess that the cost of a Windows server license would be something of a benchmark for the price of the commercial JVM license.
- jpitz 15y agoWhat?!!? When did they start charging for the runtime? Admittedly, it has been a while for me, but I remember the runtime and the SDK being free. Is my information out of date, or are you confusing it with Visual Studio?
- mseebach 15y agoI'm referring to Windows.
