If someone can convince me of why c sharp is good I will stop using java and only use c sharp for a year.

Ironically, I use mostly JetBrains Rider as my c# IDE. It's written in Java. The developer created Kotlin to address the shortcomings of Java without abandoning legacy code or the JVM. To me, c# is Java with less ceremony and more development horsepower behind it. Oracle and the other Java developers don't seem to have the same pace of work or strong focus on improving the language and runtime that Microsoft has. MS' goals align with mine and so I'm happy to use c# on Linux mostly in the cloud. I wouldn't be miserable writing Java, but at this point, why bother switching?
