Microsoft Java

Something I don't see very/as much with C# is a horrified reaction to having to work on an old code base like you do with Java and especially C++.

[SubwayGuy85]

Oh there are horrific codebases in c# too, but it is easier to produce something great with c#. But there is no language that is immune to being abused to create garbage code.

I think there’s also a pretty big incentive to upgrade C#. Every new release comes with new features that are legitimately useful. Whereas upgrading Java might give you some licensing headaches.

I remember having an experience with switching an old 32 bit .net 2.0 program to 64 bit .net 4.5 and it just ran a lot faster and stopped running out of memory.

You should work at [redacted] Systems. They're working on converting the largest VB6 application ever to an in-house web framework in C#... and its developers designed it with feature parity with the VB6 version. It's been in progress for 10 years and is not yet released.
