It’s possible to write good code in JavaScript too; VSCode is a great example of this.
However, that doesn’t mean the language won’t fight against you. Yes, you can write data-oriented code in C# as well, but most people don’t because C# has historically been an OO language, and doing so would feel jarring to many. As a result, getting dropped into an existing C# codebase won’t be pleasant if you don’t enjoy GoF-style OO.
Go, Rust, and Zig don’t have this issue, but the latter two don’t directly compete with C#. Go does and is preferred by those who want to avoid traditional OO. That’s hard to do in an ecosystem that’s pivoting only because people are moving away from it.
- alkonaut 2y agoIt’s obviously more likely to find a C# codebase riddled with obsolete OO patterns than a Rust one. But I think the strongest signal for that would rather be e.g the code being related to web/service backends of some kind. I much more rarely see that kind of thing in any other context (games, mobile, scientific, desktop, …). I stay as far as possible from web stack stuff more than specific languages, but probably for the same reason.
