IMO C# is at the point where Java can probably just die. I don't see a point in keeping Java when C# is a viable option in many use cases.

I don't think this line of reasoning is strictly speaking correct, but assuming it was, then I think it would follow that Kotlin exists and as such C# does not need to be kept around.

Compiled Java is still cross-platform. It’s been a few years for me, but when I last worked in C# it was a giant PITA to work on it in Linux or MacOS. I hope it’s gotten better.

I'm sure Microsoft will be happy to know their EEE strategy is finally paying off, only two decades late.

It's attitudes like this that made me choose C# as the language I wanted to use professionally after graduation.

Having grown up in the Slashdot era where people would be childish, post about Micro$oft, and parrot EEE, all while the .NET Foundation consistently put out great tooling with a mature community that actively wanted to help you learn the language/framework, the choice was simple.
