I dont think so. I like Go code because its usually pretty "flat" unless you find someone from a Java or C# background. C# code is similar to Java in that nearly everyone writes it with an IDE, so you end up with nested folders like 8 levels deep. it makes reading the code stupidly hard, unless you download and load into an IDE or something like GitHub with essentially a web IDE. so anyone used to just a normal editor like Vim or similar is basically out of luck.
- tester756 3y agoWhile I agree that almost everyone uses IDEs when doing C# then I'm not sure about this folder thing. I've been shocked many times when seeing Java repos that they have like 5 empty folders nested just to have 3 java files. I don't see that in C# world. >it makes reading the code stupidly hard, unless you download and load into an IDE or something like GitHub with essentially a web IDE. so anyone used to just a normal editor like Vim or similar is basically out of luck. What does "normal editor" even mean? Shouldn't "normal" be dictated by market share? so VS Code, Notepad++ according to SO Survey 22
- jen20 3y ago> that they have like 5 empty folders nested just to have 3 java files. I don't see that in C# world. This is because Java ties the package path to the filesystem, and C# does not tie namespaces to file paths. Typically in C# codebases you'll see the layers implemented as separate DLL projects.
- JenrHywy 3y agoThat's not my experience, and I've been writing C# since .NET 1.1. Obviously though it depends on the scale of the app. If you have 1m+ LoC, you really need to have some sort of structure, regardless of the language.
