Could you explain the "quality of life" bit? Are you saying that if you programmed in Java life would be hellish?

  This article summarises the differences: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms836794.aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms836794.aspx Although it is a little out of date in some areas (for both languages). C# has been stealing from F# for several versions now, so we get all kinds of nice shorthand for accomplishing sometimes complex operations.

  Off the top of my head: * A half-decent type system * No half-baked primitive / object distinction * The `as` operator * Various operators related to null * Ability to distinguish if something is nullable or not, and to have nullable and non-null references * The `checked` keyword * Operator overloading * Properties * Syntactic sugar w.r.t. getters and setters * out & ref parameters * struct support * unsigned values All of these things are major pain points in Java. Some of them can be overcome by running external tools, some of the time. Hopefully.
