Do people actually like C#? It seems like a really bloated language with a ton of features.
- qingcharles 3y agoYes, it's an excellent development language, IMO. I honestly preferred VB.NET, but I'll settle for C#. It has great community support, great libraries too. This is coming from someone who started out writing x86 assembler and has been coding on almost every platform known to man for the last 40 years.
- naasking 3y agoFeatures are not bloat if they address real issues.
- yonaguska 3y agoI actually enjoy it. And this is coming from someone that spent a lot of time in C, assembler, lisp, Scala, Java, and so on....C# is much nicer than it used to be, and gets out of the way. Tooling is so much better than it was just 5 years ago. I'm using rider on an m2 with no issues. Of course it's not free- regular vs2022 won't even open on a mac. Most of the things I don't like about C# mostly have to do with the community and the average C# developer. Even the documentation, which used to just suck, is getting better.

It's like $15 a month, a price of 1 good meal pretty much anywhere in the world. In my 3rd world country, even students could afford it. If you earn money with code, it should be no brainer. If you are a someone who is just learning and hacking around, or just want everything to be free forever, then VS Code with C# DevKit is more than adequate, you can even do professional work with it. I'm saying this assuming you are on Mac/Linux. On Windows, the powerful (and free) VS Community Edition will get you covered, unless your revenue exceeds 1M, in which case you probably can afford the VS Professional license.
