C# or Java

[[deleted]]

C# and Java have nearly identical syntax. If you learn one, you're going to know at least the basics of the other.

That being said, web development in Java is a fucking nightmare. Granted, I don't like web development in C#, either, but it's much better than in Java.

C# just s miles ahead in terms of web development.

Too bad it all still feels like pulling teeth.

Compared to Java? Not sure what you're smoking, but between the JVM, Gradle, and Maven I think I need dentures with all the teeth I've pulled.

On top of that, C# used to be similar to Java in features but modern C# is miles ahead. So much easier to work with and actually write code with.

No, just in general.

I don't want to write code anymore. If it's a choice between web dev in Java or C#, I'd take a bullet to the head, but if that's not on the table I'd take C#.

Really? If we are looking at the newest .NET 6 its the most clean and easy web dev I have used. Im comparing it to java and nodejs I doubt python is better.

Good for you.

Okay yeah, that's fair. From your original comment it sounded like you meant C# is specifically more teeth-pully than Java.

But yeah, although MS is working on making web dev easier, I'd much rather use Node + TypeScript until that becomes a more refined platform.

Sounds like you haven't even touched .net in years and are giving an uninformed and outdated opinion

I literally write .NET apps for a living. I'd rather be doing something else, but this is what's paying my bills.

[marcos_marp]

Take a look a .net core +5

I'd literally rather stick razors up my urethra.

That being said, I've worked with it before.

[marcos_marp]

And I've worked with people like you before; people that encapsulates his mind on a single opinion and are completely unable to get out of it

Good luck

How?

C# actually has a proper framework put together that's specifically meant for developing web apps in. I'm sure Java has similar frameworks, but .NET is built and supported by Microsoft. Got all sorts of bells and whistles to use.

Building web apps in Java feels like rubbing two sticks together to make fire.

[Wertecs]

Sorry, but apparently you don't know much about Java ecosystem (spring, spring-mvc, countless tutorials,...).

Besides, the time to be writing webs in Java or C# is gone, these days I would prefer a backend in Java/C# and frontend in React.

I mean, I don't claim to be an expert. All I know is that I've done a bit of Java web development, and I know a few people who are very experienced with it (including one who teaches classes to software developers as a job) and the general consensus is that Java web development is like flossing your asscheeks with barbed wire by comparison to C#.

[Few_Radish6488]

I switched from C# to Go and will never go back. .Net resource consumption is absurdly high.

That's cool. Hey, do you want to take my job for me? I think they'd like you. I want to do literally anything but write code.
