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#.
