Microsoft is dropping C#? Source for that?
- bfrog 4y agoC# is a lot closer to Java if anything, should clarify to be c and c++
- mplewis9z 4y agoCalling C# a C-like language is like saying JavaScript is a descendant of Java.
- AppleBananaPie 4y agocould be worded better but from context in the sentence I read that as c/c++
- jon-wood 4y agoI think the GP probably poorly phrased that. “Memory unsafe languages” would be a better term, apart from the basic syntax C# really isn’t very C-like.
- ccouzens 4y agoBased on the context I think by "c like" they meant languages with a culture of dealing with raw pointers. c# is c by name and curly braces, but primarily uses managed memory
- diroussel 4y agoC# is not a C-like language. It's a managed runtime with garbage collection. However Mark Russinovich, CTO of Azure did say that it's time to drop C and C++ https://twitter.com/markrussinovich/status/1571995117233504257 https://twitter.com/markrussinovich/status/15719951172335042...
- babypuncher 4y agoC# is C-like in syntax only. Syntax isn't the reason why C and C++ are falling out of favor.
