C#
C# (and perhaps even .NET) could be viewed as Microsofts response to Java and the
JVM bytecode business. C# compiles to CLR (common language runtime), which is
what the .NET infrastructure provides. C++ can be used on Windows platforms also.
It compiles to machine code and is much faster than C#.
They like to say that C# is "component oriented" rather than "object oriented".
They like to say lots of things, so beware the hype and groupthink.
Linux and C-sharp
Windows and C-sharp
There is also F# --
So - what about C#
It is a nice language, worlds better than Java, interesting and exciting.
But, despite recent promotion by Microsoft, it is by no means cross platorm.
To make it cross platform, two things need to happen.
- Visual Studio (not Visual Studio "code") needs to run on linux
- Some kind of cross platform UI framework needs to be arranged
For now on linux, C# is fun to play with, but no real option to get things done.
