    DotNet Core as a whole (C# + F# + other languages that are being ported to compile down to a DotNet binary).

    Because it has all the things Java promised us - frictionless, painless, cross-platform programs - but is implementing it far better than Java ever could.

    Honestly, DotNet Core is now at least a half-decade or more ahead of Java in terms of the base platform and C# language functionality/ease-of-use. The only advantage Java has at this point is it’s community ecosystem of third-party features and programs.

      I remember my first job working with C# - this was the common sentiment: it’s a Java that is better than Java at being Java. I mostly agree with that.

      Try using Kotlin some day, though. I consider that language to be even better than C#, and it additionally gets to leverage the JVM ecosystem.

      Kotlin > C# > Java, in my book

      I’ve been meaning to give F# a go but I never seem to get around to it. Seems like an interesting language

        You may explained it unprecisley or simply wrong. You can not run it in browser. It is done on web Server side like PHP. In browser you run JavaScript.

      And those are enormous advantages. It will also get you a lot more jobs. I see Java jobs everywhere. I barely see C job postings at all.
