    IMO C# is at the point where Java can probably just die. I don’t see a point in keeping Java when C# is a viable option in many use cases.

      I don’t think this line of reasoning is strictly speaking correct, but assuming it was, then I think it would follow that Kotlin exists and as such C# does not need to be kept around.

      I’m sure Microsoft will be happy to know their EEE strategy is finally paying off, only two decades late.

        Oracle owns Java and has made its proprietary hold on the language clear.

        There are no good guys here.

        It’s attitudes like this that made me choose C# as the language I wanted to use professionally after graduation.

        Having grown up in the Slashdot era where people would be childish, post about Micro$oft, and parrot EEE, all while the .NET Foundation consistently put out great tooling with a mature community that actively wanted to help you learn the language/framework, the choice was simple.
