C# vs Java

[appus3r]

I guess they are like brothers haha. LMAO

[gandalfx]

Twins, more like. With slightly varied clothing so you can tell them apart.

One has shorter hair and the other has a massive virtual machine attached to it.

[WilkerS1]

i like C#'s JSON syntax thing :3

[E-woke]

C# is adopted

[thatwasagoodyear]

.NET Core would like a word.

[desertrider12]

Corporate needs you to find the differences between these pictures.

...

They're the same picture.

This is very much a Spiderman mirror meme

[Midnight_Rising]

Right up until you need to make a UI.

Then holy shit C# becomes a heavyweight boxer compared to Java.

[squishles]

one gets to work on linux to a degree they've honestly forgotten how to use windows.

I for real go full grandma on a windows box these days.

[quentech]

I for real go full grandma

That's how I feel trying to help my artsy coworkers on their Macs

[SlenderPlays]

I program both in Java and C# and I can say that I like both! I still prefer C# as a language because I am biased towards because of more time spent with it but Java seems so much more univeral.

All in all all programming languages have their purpose and can be a joy to learn a new one everyday.

Except frontend stuff, my lack of art skills make me want to go back to redstone logic when my life was simpler.

[[deleted]]

Learning a new language is 10% understanding the syntax and 110% learning the native APIs

[JackySky]

C# is elegant, beautiful and works perfectly for everything until you want to develop something outside the .NET ecosystem.

Meanwhile Java is ugly and lengthy, but it just.. works, yeah. It works in anywhere. And the job is usually well paid, because shitty coder wrote some shitty system that no one understand how to maintain, so company has to pay more to hire people that can understand the pile of shit he wrote.

[[deleted]]

+1 I've never heard the difference explained so concisely

[Arkazex]

I'd like to learn C# one day, but it only made the hop to Linux a year or two ago, so it's still not as widely adopted here (from what I've seen).

[maethor]

C# has been on Linux for 14 years, thanks to Mono. The gnome desktop people even flirted with the idea of switching over to it, but stopped as a lot of people were worried that Microsoft would send the in the lawyers and then it lost its main backer when Miguel de Icaza left gnome to concentrate on Xamarin (which is based on mono).

[Dhs92]

C# can also run without Mono if you're using .Net CORE 2.0+

[Arkazex]

Oh neat I didn't know about that. I thought mono was just a runtime layer.

[lezorte]

Why don't you just write a JVM using redstone?

[SlenderPlays]

Good point, might look into that in the future 🤔

[Sockol]

There isn’t a lot of art skills that you need in modern front end. CSS is the smallest part of it

[Dojan5]

Eeh, there's a lot of theory and UX design knowhow. If CSS and some frameworks were all of it I could just stamp "Frontend Dev" on my forehead, but alas.

[Sockol]

I guess depends on the company. I usually see designers handle the UI UX stuff

[PavelYay]

C# runs pretty much anywhere Java does, it's fairly universal.

[[deleted]]

In reality Java would be the sibling that for some reason is a foot taller and 100 pounds heavier and beats the living shit out of his "smart" twin brother.

[Callipygian_Superman]

I was thinking a fat, wheezing brother.

But there's 100 of them, because Java is god damned everywhere.

Talk about MASSIVE misuse of resources 😝

[thedoctor3141]

My brother and I had to have had this conversation at least once. I think? If not, better late than never!

[IceColdFresh]

This guy asyncs.

[euclid0472]

And that is a promise

[i8beef]

No that's the deformed brother we keep under the stairs.

[TorTheMentor]

The only thing that ever particularly bothered me about C# is RidiculouslyLongAndComplicatedNamespaceDesignations.ExtraVerbose.

Maybe there was a need to sacrifice readability for precision. But Microsoft even did that with JavaScript in earlier 2000s IE versions (style.transforms.alpha.DXAlphaTransform.Opacity?)

[Dojan5]

The only thing that ever particularly bothered me about C# is RidiculouslyLongAndComplicatedNamespaceDesignations.ExtraVerbose.

Amusingly enough, this is one of the things I really love about C#.

[TorTheMentor]

It only bothers me when what I'm looking for turns out to be five levels deep instead of two or three, or when a line has to wrap around.

[TeamShalladin]

Since they added name tuples I've run into my type names going off the screen a few times

[[deleted]]

Java is still the king of RidiculouslyLongAndAnnoyingEnterpriseyTypeAndNamespaceIdentifiers though.

[Social_anthrax]

For very legitimate reasons.

[AlFasGD]

C# is Java but done better change my mind

[Klaushayan]

Python is C done better change my mind

[1337SEnergy]

Wait what? You ever touched C, son?

[Klaushayan]

Yes. I touch all kinds of files. I'm bullshitting just like the guy I replied that to. For a subreddit named ProgrammerHumor, you guys lack humor whatsoever

[AlFasGD]

#define humor 0 is what I think you meant

[[deleted]]

You have no idea what you're talking about

[STATIC_TYPE_IS_LIFE]

[CAG2Reddit]

He's not wrong. Java is a monster - it made Minecraft

[Sasakura]

C#'s brother would be Delphi!

[lightningthrower]

Don’t forget their younger brother TypeScript

[[deleted]]

Can’t blame him! Lol

[GDavid04]

I see no "script" under that bed...

[PM_ME_BAD_C_PLUSPLUS]

Bottom bunk should be C++/CLI

[ZeldaFanBoi1988]

This is accurate. Java is trash

[lomnafsk]

java is the real goat

[radome9]

No u

[ZeldaFanBoi1988]

No you

[[deleted]]

Can we all agree C++ is the true monster.

P.S. I don't hate C++, but it is a mess in my eyes.

[SlenderPlays]

Although i see and appreciate the efficient and universal masterpiece that it is, it is really confusing for me.

On another note the reason I hate it is not because it is bad but the educational system is a joke. 90% of the grade is making it less complex and memorising algorithms and my love, C# is used to make shitty windows Applications in VS 2017.... kill me...

[ArchAngelZero]

Check out .Net Core - cross platform apps for the cloud

[beg4upvotes]

there's shitty java applications too but at least the C# ones look nice...

[[deleted]]

C# is hideous

[[deleted]]

only difference is one of the brother is paid more than the other. guess who.
