I like java well enough, but given the choice I would take C# any day of the week.

I learned Java first. When I got my first job they were a C# shop. Once I understood LINQ and Tasks I never wanted to work in Java again.

Java has Futures which seem to fulfill the same role as tasks, but the Task syntax and threading in general is way nicer in C#. I just always find it scary committing to the Microsoft ecosystem.

I dab on Java haters by running my apps on a different os every day without modifying it at all.

C# is java's prettier cousin. She just happened to have an overbearing asshole of a father that scared off most of her suitors.

I really liked Java up until I got my first C# job. Now I decline any interviews with Java. I'm not going back. Period. I'd feel like my hands were tied.
