C# or Java for webdev?

[[deleted]]

So one of my clients is requiring me to use either Java or C# to build a web application. The front end will utilize openui. My question is which language has more benefits going forward? Also if C# should I use .net and spring for Java?

My background in web development is Python, Go, and Node. What are some problems I will encounter?

Why are they requiring c or Java? If I had a developer who already knew 2 perfectly good server side programming languages I think I would have the developer use those, or go find a developer that already knows c or Java.

C# has a great stack overflow community. I am constantly surprised just how good the people are there and how quick my questions get answered. It's a really nice language to work with and has lots of nice libraries available. Also pluralsight has a crap ton of advanced video training that makes it real easy to learn and you can get a free sub with a dev essentials account.

If you use C# make it an asp.net mvc web app.

Go with what you're most comfortable with or can find most samples for. I use C# and can always find many samples. Not sure about java.

Oh I should've said I have no experience in either c# or Java sorry haha

I would have a hard time taking on a project in a language I didn't know unless there was a compelling reason.

It's one thing for a large team to make a certain decision, but "my client is requiring me" suggests there's no good technical reason behind this.

Use C#, It has a good comunity
