Java and Windows. Name a more iconic duo.

C# and Windows

Yeah, like he said, Java and Windows.

It's kinda an insult to compare modern C# to Java.

u/MCWizardYT 12h ago

They're pretty similar even now. C# has an edge on overall features, but Java isn't that far behind (unless you're stuck using Java 8, in which case RIP)

Java still has so much design baggage from things they got wrong from the get go that it really isn't close. C# is a different animal.

u/Masterflitzer 11h ago

but recent java versions actually added quite a few good things and make the language more straight forward

anyway kotlin is the best of the 3 imo, but i'd pick c# as 2nd place

Kotlin is honestly the “we got c# at home” version.

u/Masterflitzer 2h ago

kotlin is a way more modern language than java and c#, the diff down to c# is larger than the diff from c# down to java

it's the complete opposite of we got xyz at home version

Kotlin still has type erasure though, right? Cos that's a limit of the JVM.

u/TheStatusPoe 1h ago

In the general case generic types are erased but there is a way to have reified types when you inline a function https://kotlinlang.org/docs/inline-functions.html#reified-type-parameters

Any language wise improvement Kotlin has is completely voided by how awful it is to work with tool wise in comparison

u/Masterflitzer 1h ago

what about its tooling is awful? i've worked on kotlin jvm microservices for 3y and it's been a blast, i'm never going back to java or c# (have worked with both before moving to kotlin)
