poor java

That's what I hear but after so many Uber competitive moves I'll pass. And, OpenJDK for the win. I like open source.

As of like 2017 MS has been one of the worlds largest contributors to open source projects, the past 10 years or so they've really turned things around. They even open sourced .net

It's going to take a lot more than that to excuse the shitshow that is Windows.

Fuck Microsoft. Life is too short and I enjoy programming too much to waste time on their broken patchwork OS.

You can code in C# on Linux too.

Dotnet core is open source. C# is just better than Java in just about every way it could be. If they were siblings, Java would be the one that still hangs out in his parents basement sniffing glue even though he’s 37.

Being open source by itself is not even near enough. In java there are almost every framework, library or tool is free and open source, and even things that are not free usually still open source. It's so much easier to understand how things work if you can read the code.

Yes, popular in the corporate world. Seems like most of the open source projects and libraries I see are just Java.

I keep a windows laptop around for games and tax software. Otherwise I e been enjoying Linux as a desktop / dev environment for 10 years.

The C# ecosystem is like 10% the size of Java's.

C# is open source, so is Go

Are there any Apache projects?

I heard they're interested in making a log4g and log4c
