C# is so old by now, if it would be a good replacement for C++ at MS, it would already have replaced it.

- barrenko 3y agoJava and C# are in their "let's get functional" phase.
- neonsunset 3y ago:( C# has been at that for more than a decade and a half already. Java's arrival to the party is extremely late and still lacking in many areas.
- pjmlp 3y agoC# could have been like D back in 2001, yet it had to wait to go open source, away from the wings from WinDev politics, having to provide a replacement to C++/CLI capabilities in a cross-platform way, to finally expose the full CLR to C#, without us having to routinely manually generate MSIL or reach out to C++/CLI. Singularity and Midori were hardly taken seriously in any form by WinDev.

- pjmlp 3y agoDon't mix technology with the internal politics at Microsoft, where some business units won't use anything else besides COM and C++, no matter what. They are so strong that they were responsible pushing the whole company into the whole Windows 8 debacle with WinRT, where COM was supposed to finally replace .NET. https://arstechnica.com/features/2012/10/windows-8-and-winrt-everything-old-is-new-again/ https://arstechnica.com/features/2012/10/windows-8-and-winrt...
