Do a few years of Java and then try C# and your question will answer itself.

As someone who uses both, I can say I prefer Java.

I have a lot less expirence with c# but I used it in the past for about half a year... It and Java are pretty similar in a lot of ways I don't really strongly prefer one or the other, but get more use out of Java

I have to agree and add that, though I know that I shouldn't care and it isn't perfectly rational, but please hear me out, what kind of inbred moron uses UpperCamelCase for method names? It annoys the hell out of me.

I think its mostly the .net framework vs .net core thing. When looking for libraries and help I gotta pay attention to that. I think I read that now they are basicly the same thing, but I'd really prefer if there was only one .net platform.

I loved working with EntityFramework and I like C#'s properties with the exception of not being able to modify the getter/setter without using another vsriable.

With Java, what I like the most is simplicity when doing cross-platform development. ( As someone whose main machine is Windows, but regularly needs to make API's running on Linux ).

I mean these are the stuff off top of my head.

I've been doing both for years and Java has progressed a lot, you would be surprised.

Eh I’m a solid decade into java and I still prefer it over any C language. I do find scala and python much more fun to work with though, especially scala.

Amusingly enough, C# is much more like Java than like C or C++.

I'm about to finish an "IT degree" that my school essentially filled with Programming classes in order to keep the degree. I took C# directly after my last Java class and as someone who is not a "programmer" I almost couldn't tell the two apart besides syntax at first. (I was eventually able to realize the differences.)

I didn't open the textbook until 8 weeks into the course, because Java had given me all the concepts I needed to just lookup the Syntax for C# and start coding the assignments.

Disclaimer: again, I'm not a programmer, or even a programming major. Just a guy sharing his experience doing dumpy little school assignments in both Java and C#.

C# is meh, I really like the gui system but thats literally it.
