is it true /g/?

Yes. C# is a meme and will be replaced by something else in a couple years. Still worth learning though.

>>60619490
so you're saying that manlets are objectively superior in everything?

>>60619490
Pretty much, if the dwarf was convenient if you had to do wangblows for some reason

Real talk: why does every pimple faced, skinny little shit in my CS classes know this language but not anything actually useful? Is it used for gaymes or something?

>>60620492
Probably for Android development. It's relatively easy and pretty gratifying for new programmers. That's how my son got started.

>>60620492
Do you mean Java or C#?

>>60619490

WRONG

Instead of a lot of noise (EJB, private static class implementations, etc) you get elegant and friendly native constructs such as Properties and Events.
You have real generics (not the bad casting joke that Java calls generics), and you can perform reflection on them.
It supports native resource-management idioms (the using statement). Java 7 is also going to support this, but C# has had it for a way longer time.
It doesn't have checked exceptions :) (debatable whether this is good or bad)
It's deeply integrated with Windows, if that's what you want.
It has Lambdas and LINQ, therefore supporting a small amount of functional programming.
It allows for both generic covariance and contravariance explicitly.
It has dynamic variables, if you want them.
Better enumeration support, with the yield statement.
It allows you to define new value (or non-reference) types.

C# is comfy and the tooling is the best in the world

>Minor differences in what is effectively the same language

Meanwhile, 3d party ecosystem is superior in Java. It also used to be that Java was not tied to one of the most consumer unfriendly corporations in the world, but now it's unfortunately tied to Larry Ellisson, so arguably worse than even Microshit

Outside Windows environment maybe
