C# as a language is pretty much everything I need. It's easy to understand and quick to write code with. NuGet is pretty nice way to get packages too.
But how can I be sure the language will be supported for longer periods of time? How do I know MS doesn't suddenly knee-cap the language and go "ok windows only now"
Sure it would be dumb, but corpos have never been very smart.
We need C# equivalent that is open and not governed by One Big Corp. https://isdotnetopen.com/
Java is kind of same, even though there is OpenJDK.. But I don't know enough of that world to comment on it. (Do share your insights!)
If there is such a language already, do share!
@aks the cool thing about openjdk is that it's actually the reference implementation for the language~
i'm not 100% sure, but i feel like it would be much harder to really limit it overall like c# could be because of that (there are actually completely independent versions of java!)
then again, oracle could, well, try to do an oracle again
that all said, i'm not really sure how that situation really compares to c#'s, or how the two really compare overall either!
