Huh, I wonder if the large improvement in understanding Java is heavily connected with understanding C# better?
I'm just guessing based on language similarities between the two
- NicoJuicy 2y agoI first learned Java at the time. C# after, but c# always felt way better regarding syntax ( I found it to be less bloated)
- jiggawatts 2y agoC# is basically a "Microsoft Java". They tried this already with J# and their own runtime, but then got sued and decided to make their own JVM but this time with blackjack... and hookers.
- baq 2y agoC# for the first three or so major versions was more Microsoft Object Pascal With Braces than anything.
- seritools 2y agoBlackjack, hookers, and reified generics!
- wongarsu 2y agoMicrosoft Java makes it sound likes it's an inferior clone. Rather C# is Java reinvented with the benefit of hindsight, and improved with new concepts and sound language design from there. Both languages have a too enterprisey ecosystem for my taste, but when given the choice between Java and C# I would take C# every time. Though modern Java certainly made efforts to catch up again.
