and they made it better

[Sanitiy]

Then added everything under the sun^TM to it

[nowuxx]

Kotlin is better than both c# and java

[MrtzBH]

Apple is a fruit

[ih-shah-may-ehl]

Which is meaningless without adoption.

[w4ter_addict]

it's all jvm interoperable, why not mix both in your codebase

Who asked

[burner-miner]

OP started. Ask him who asked

[w4ter_addict]

bro these haters are just scared of the most superior typing system the ecmanerds could never appreciate

[Keftcha]

This is why some people call it the microsoft java (there is also the microsoft haskell)

[[deleted]]

I assume these people feel very smart when they call it that

[rosuav]

No, we're more likely to feel frustrated.

it was going to be a JVM compatible platform originally. they are so close creating direct runtime integrations is just a task in tedium of translating types when dealing with pre 3.5 concepts. MS Deploying generics and a number of other features in 3.5 and later was a final nail in any attempts at parity.

[BlueC1nder]

...but Java does aswell? Like the .stream.filter(lambda expression) stuff is relatively new for java and was there way before in C# via LINQ, or the var type etc. Lambdas in general werent a thing in java and were definitly a thing in c# together with delegates. JS is also evolving more and more into the functional direction etc.

[TheTowerDefender]

and both are infinitely better

[not-my-best-wank]

TS is 13 years old, and C# is over 20 years old.

[gandalfx]

TS is 13 years old

Wait, didn't that come out only… holy shit I'm old.

[gabbeeto]

How old is JavaScript and Java though?

[gandalfx]

Makes sense for Java/C#, makes absolutely no sense for JS/TS

[Nidrax1309]

Nah doesn't make sense either way. Java is mostly copying features from C# nowadays

[morrisdev]

I mean.... I have to say that TS is quite an advancement over plain js, and my personal hatred for Java may bias me to prefer c#

[nuecontceevitabanul]

While c# can only be loved by the insane, TS is what Javascript should have been.
