What on earth is this gibberish
A weird ass Microsoft ad.
I work with .net developers. It scarred them so deeply, don’t even like to program outside of work anymore.
Yeah
I could maybe see it, if all you know otherwise is C++, and your experience with other languages is trying to make python / go / node / whatever work well on a Windows machine without well-working tooling, and then you finally try C# and it’s like oh shit, it’s not filling up my mouth with feces every time I want to iterate over a dictionary or need memory management, this is a big improvement, I like it
But, VSCode has good support for those other languages now anyway
And, the bigger question, who the fuck are all these people upvoting this
Like what do you guys do all day? Or is this some subtle super sophisticated joke I am not understanding, or do you just like the man’s chin? Or do you just not program and you upvote programming things out of general excitement about the idea of doing programming?
Who in the fuck is this excited about C# of all the things in the world to get excited about?
I’m just baffled in general by it
I work in C# and I find it highly preferable over working in Java or C++.
pervasive unchecked nullability
Framework management is hell, fat binaries inconvenient and not default
No option monad in the standard lib
Cross version dependencies simply don’t work in some contexts
Compiler output only marginally better than working with c++
At least it doesn’t have Gradle.
pervasive unchecked nullability
Addressed nowadays with the question mark and exclamation mark syntax, and programming without nullability is a pain
Framework management is hell, fat binaries inconvenient and not default
Nuget?
Compiler output only marginally better than working with c++
No one claims it’s faster at runtime than good C++, it’s just a lot easier to write decent code

I think they’re referring to warning and error content. Compared to things like rust, deciphering error notifications from the c# compiler can sometimes feel like trying to figure out what a child with limited vocabulary is trying to tell you.
Even with decades of personal experience with it, they can be confusing and non-informative sometimes for me.
A thinly veiled M$ ad, trying to save face after the .NET fiasco of 2021…
Microsoft tried to lock a development feature behind a paywall by introducing an artificial dependency on Visual Studio.
This also happened to occur right around the time there were also licensing and hosting issues around open source libraries. The manipulation of the .NET foundation was the really concerning part. Made it clear that MS still doesn’t give a damn about the wider community using their language.
Everything I don’t like is an ad.
Seriously. People. Get off your high horses. It’s a fucking greetext of someone liking something.
Always seems like you have to reinvent the wheel in .NET and I’m missing something. Is there a nice set of ready to go libraries like Spring Boot?
Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux
I mean, you can’t argue with that.
