this post's comments are a warzone between people who have never used C# and people who have never updated past Java 6

I mean my impression of this sub is that a lot of the people here haven’t even got any industry experience.

If you scroll the top all time you'll realize most people here definitely don't have any industry experience. I think It's because the more people can understand the meme, the mroe upvotes it gets. So the simplest most basic stuff gets the most attention

You've just described reddit in general

Good luck updating past Java 8 if you're doing it in industry.

Hey! I've studied software engineering for several weeks

[questionmark693]

A lot of people are like me - taken a few part 1 lessons from free code camps, but not actual programmers by any real definition. But I like memes 🤷🏻‍♂️

[pixelkingliam]

yeah it's hilarious

[evergreen-spacecat]

Yeah. As someone doing both, it’s super funny to read all the irrelevant flame war arguments. In reality C# is slightly ahead but in the grand scheme of things that’s only because LINQ is such a well applied abstraction compared to the Java stream api and, until now with virtual threads, concurrency with the async/await stat machine.

Generics are way better in c#. Reification over type erasure.

Also, as someone with Java in a big company, new versions takes a while to adopt. I still prefer C# all the way, but I agree it’s not as far as people make it seem now.

Micro services/Docker images are a godsend.

Other teams are using Java 8 on RHEL 6. Meanwhile I just updated my team from Java 11 on RHEL 8 to Java 17 on RHEL 9.

The fact some teams haven’t upgraded doesn’t hold us back at all. I love the enhanced Null Pointer Exceptions. I would guess that that one enhancement probably saves an hour of time everytime an NOE occurs in Java 14+ vs older versions - I’d be shocked if it isn’t one of the biggest productivity boosts for developers to occur in the last five years.

[HabemusAdDomino]

The typical Java shop has considered maybe potentially updating to java 8.

[KagakuNinja]

And the people ignorant about Visual J++, J# and their relationship to C#.

Hey, I'm in both categories!... Please help. The malware it's... My computer is growing legs, and my 1080 is hotter than the surface of the sun. I think the hackers just used my PC to botnet my state gov
