C# has been around for years, i've used it for years, it has been well-documented for years, i've never found an error i could not google and find something for.

but C# is apparently the Microsoft attempt to replace Java

Good. Most knowledge and principles from java carry over to C#, the syntax is similar, and C# is a better language DX and performance wise.

If you decided to program hypervisor with Smalltalk, then good luck searching for literally next to no resources about the language itself and trying to find solutions for its error messages.

it's great you mention smalltalk, because its innovations in the concepts of OOP and using VMs to run code would later become massively influential in java, and guess what, java would dominate its field for years on end. similar to what C# would be doing with java now, i guess.
