Of these languages, C# may actually be the fastest. https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

I'm not here to collect points, nor am I desperately trying to be a cool guy. I'm already too old for this shit :)

That's just nonsense. It's trivial to make efficient projected queries with ORMs like EF. Nothing stops you doing stupid things with plain SQL either.

Ok, can't argue with such a big brain! :)

Would also recommend. We've integrated many different hardware devices with an app, and the process has consistently been very straightforward.

Also, Europe does not trust the US anymore. It's rather embarrassing and sad that what has become of this once great country.

I think you're underestimating the role of .NET in this. It was .NET that popularized this concept for the masses, and from there it spread to other languages including JavaScript, which also borrowed the exact same async/await ke

I agree that they should not add new stuff lightly, but the "is" operator actually should be looked together with switch expression in the context of pattern matching. How else could you enable powerful and succint pattern matchin

There’s much more to it than just Span<T>. Take a look at the performance improvements in .NET 10: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/performance-improvemen... . When it comes to syntax, even something like str

Actually, if you had made an opposite example, it might have gone against your point. ;) C# gives you a lot more control over memory and other low-level aspects, after all.

In your sample there really is no benefit to using the "is" operator over just checking for null (assuming you haven't overloaded the "!=" operator). However, the "is" operator is a lot more powerful, you

I'm interested what are those new keywords and features that are of dubious benefit?

While I may agree on Sharepoint, not everything from Microsoft is bad. Often the alternatives are even worse.

Why are you excluding C# and Java here? There are certainly many rewrites to these languages, but this kind of rewrites are "boring" for the crowds here and don't get the spotlight. IMO building web services with Rust, C++ is

Why do you think that? Is it really biased, considering the majority of the world uses Windows? Or is it just that you don't like it? By the way, I'm not using Windows (but love .NET) and prefer Linux, but I'm not fooling mys

You worked in a C# shop and never wrote LINQ? How is that possible? That's like driving a manual car and never shifting out of first gear.

Valhalla is over 10 years in the works already and there is still no clear date when or if at all it would be released. It's very difficult to change (or fix) such fundamental things so late in the game.

Well the point of using abstractions is that you don't need to know the things that it is abstracting. I think the abstraction here is self explaining what it does and you can certainly understand and use it without needing to understa

Reified generics, value types, LINQ are just a few things that you would miss when going to Java. Also Java and .NET are both big, that's not a real argument here. Not that I would trust Tiobe index too much, but as of 2025 September C

I haven't experienced a DI 'nightmare' myself yet, but then again, we have integration tests to cover for that.

Would also recommend Avalonia. It's truly cross-platform (supports also Linux) unlike MAUI.

by mrsmrtss 1y ago
Don't we have automated tests for catching this kind of things or is everyone only YOLOing in nowadays? Serialization, routing, etc can fail at runtime regardless of using or not using attributes or reflection.

The fact that you even need to be very careful when choosing a JDK is a lot bigger problem than some simple easily replaceable library is going commercial (not that this has not happend also in Java land). Also .NET is fully open and really

Painfully slow? On a modern machine reasonable sized solution will compile almost instantly.

by mrsmrtss 1y ago
Sorry, but you focus on the wrong thing here, there are absolutely no issues related to C#/.NET specifically there. .NET rocks on Linux!

Dynamic languages are great for quick hacking and prototyping.

by mrsmrtss 1y ago
Maybe Python and JS are just more hobbyist-friendly languages (more forgiving).

by mrsmrtss 1y ago
Generally .NET's "out-of-the-box" experience is comparable to using Java with a framework like Spring, as it includes a built-in DI container, a modern ORM (Entity Framework), a complete web stack (ASP.NET) with the high-perf
