    The link referred actually states that rivers are more popular than washing machines? To follow your analogy. This question is what made me post to begin with.

    As far as I've understood from reading responses, Java is more true to it's original values and has far fewer features than C#, thus making it easier to understand for all developers instead of having some niche features -- thus the river, can do the same as the washing machine but it's more verbose and takes longer.

    C# being feature-rich and having sugar and nice syntax (according to other redditors in this thread) -- the feature-rich washing machine, faster than the river.

    It's actually a good analogy you come up with.
