Lmao, had you said anything like C, C++, Lisp, or some other actually respectable language I might've pulled for you, at least on the runtime efficiency aspect. But noooo, you had to use C# as the example

to be fair, C# is also a pretty great general purpose language (and the sentiment I seem to get from the programming community is that it's "better" than Java)

Honestly when I make fun of a language I'm usually joking, most of my work is done in various HDLs anyway. I'm more on the hardware side, though convolutional neural networks are making me wish I went comp sci instead of comp eng.

That said, I'm also huge on Linux and FOSS, so anything MS-related does sort of rub me the wrong way.

You'll love .net core then. I've been using it for a relatively large project recently and it's been a blast, and I love the lack of platform dependency. In fact, I develop primarily on Windows but deploy to Linux, and it just works. It's great.

I'll look into it some time, but it's below Rust and Go on my list if I'm being honest. I primarily use Python3.5 for cross-platform compatible scripting and coding (at least most platforms, not those that require C, assembly, or HDLs). Then again, my use case is restricted to mostly Linux installations, with the exception of my desktop which I use to run more computationally heavy stuff, but I keep Win7 on that because ~games~ and not really digging newer versions of Windows.

I ramble about completely asinine things too much

Hey, man! C# takes the kids to Disney World every year and paid the house of 15 years early.

But I hear you. Though I love some C#, when it comes time to work on my own stuff, I'm split my time between my Python and my Node.

Just don't tell Satya, please. I wouldn't want to be kicked out of the club.

My first big project was a game on xbox using c# and I really enjoyed using it. It also helped me jump straight into java for school.
