C# has a ton going for it:
- modern, cohesive language (strong static typing, functional features, first-class async/await, value types, spans, stackalloc)
- pragmatic, not ideological
- great runtime (.NET CLR) that is cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- can do native compilation
- one of the best developer experience (IDE, compiler, profiling)
- excellent for many domains (cloud/backend, desktop, mobile, game dev, data & ML, systems adjacent)
- language scales well with teams and code base size
- great performance / safety balance
- native interop

- SvenL 10mo agoI would add: - Roselyn compiler infrastructure which allows for custom static analysis - SIMD support - great ecosystem (orleans, ef core, aspire, asp.net core, blazor, signalr, etc) - LINQ
