C#, the better Java. A really underappreciated language…
Honest question: is this the joke or did they actually make a Microsoft Java? They made lot of other wacky things like Amiga Basic and Microsoft Unix…
Not as far as I know. C# is similar to Java in many ways but it isn’t a type of Java.
Kotlin is the better Java. C# is just Microsoft Java, it fixed some of Java’s mistakes, made a few new ones, but ultimately it’s just Java for .Net. I’d say the one decision C# made that really does make it better than Java (and puts it on par with Kotlin) is making variables non-nullable by default. Implicitly nullable variables is the single dumbest decision in Java. Fix that decision and Java instantly becomes so much better.
Remember F#?
Yes, I remember other Scala
Oh, you don’t know about J#, do you?
