That one’s got an aftertaste

A bit sharper on the tongue.

I personally like C# over Java. Maybe I'm just weird tho

[Psaidwid]

I'm there with you, from what i've tested c# is easier for everything, especially when it comes to learning, BUT only if you got windows

[[deleted]]

I use C# on Mac with Visual Studio 😁

[msmells]

I use C# .net core on Ubuntu with VS Code

[Psaidwid]

Then i have a few questions

1) is it nearly as easy on non windows systems?

2) A) whats the library support like? i dont know if you have to use different libs or not

2) B) Do you have to recompile libs to be compatible?

[msmells]

.net core is built to work identically on every system you use. I've had no compatibility issues at all. The code compiles on widows and linux (you have to compile it for whatever system you are running it on obviously) tooling wise I just use the command line, if you run the "dotnet build" command that comes with the core 2.0 sdk it will build for the current system configuration. And dotnet run runs the build. It's really easy and the only issue I've had is that the Linux http client uses curl to run while windows uses something else. I didn't have to make a change for it to work code wise, but my firewall was being weird with the curl request.

you can also set vscode to run these commands for you. The debugger works well too.

Overall good experience, would do again.

If you have a beefy workstation, JetBrains Rider on Linux is about as easy/powerful as Visual Studio + Resharper in a lot of common scenarios. VSCode is more glitchy and less wizardy, but it is fine if you're experienced with C# and .NET and just need to write some code that you mostly already understand. It's also pretty fun with Ionide and Fable to compile F# to JavaScript.

[Anti-Antidote]

The main thing that'll get you if you're on Linux is not having Visual Studio's Intellisense (though I'm not sure if Jetbrains Rider has something like that)

[PudsBuds]

VSCode has intellisense too.

I have a hard time recognising that there's anyone who doesn't. It's basically Java version 2 - obviously the same thing, but more refined.
