      C# is nearly the same, but much, much better.

      • It doesn’t (usually) come with the Java culture 8 layers of abstraction. This isn’t in the Java language. This isn’t in OO. Yet nearly every Java programmer makes things way more complicated than it needs to be.
      • It’s a prettier language. Similar syntax with less bullshit.
      • It’s open source
      • It’s still multiplatform. Modern dotnet / C# works on anything.
      • Both Visual Studio and Visual Studio code are great IDEs that blow Eclipse out of the water
      • It’s one of the most common business languages.
      • It’s going to be supported forever.

      If I could restrict the world of programming to two languages, it’d be C# and Rust. C# for most things and Rust for a lower level language.
