There are ugly languages. There are unusable languages. There are languages with nuances beyond comprehension.
And there's csharp which for some reason tries to be all of these things.
No language is perfect and they all have their quirks…
But, even though Microsoft made it, C# is one of my favorite languages to write in. And to be 100% honest about it, I’m not sure I entirely know why I enjoy it so much. I’ll have to give that some thought!
I wonder if it's similar to the reason why i find it ok to work in, it's feels similar to a python just with brackets and static types. A lot of the bothersome work is hidden from you, at least with .NET.
One does get annoying things, and a lot of "you should just know to do this" for things you don't really understand or encounter naturally, but that's also something in other languages.
Don't allow your compulsions to decide for you. Csharp is shit and deep down you know it
No, C# is a good language. Usually it's shit for people not understanding it. So, what exactly makes you say it's shit?
