I 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

I 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.

>I'm using rider on an m2 with no issues. Of course it's not free I just don't understand the "Rider is not free" thing. Just come on now, guys. 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.
