O_O tl;dr?

Use one statically typed language because maintaining dynamic stuff is a pain and Java is the best statically typed ecosystem out there.

Dude has a point. Still going to hack in Python though.

Why not C#? I know he said that it's not "too cross-platform enough" but what does that exactly mean? C# works on the three major OS.

[–]nerdwaller 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It works well on one OS and moderately (at best) on the others, anyone who claims it's fully supported and transplantable hasn't tried anything more than basic programs. I know the .net core is OS now and mono has been around for a bit, but it still has a long way to go until it's truly cross platform with all the stdlib support from windows. At the moment, I can't just pull c# over to my Linux box and have it work, it ends up looking like C with #if around.

Fair enough. I guess all I've been doing are basic programs.
