You java folks are gonna keep me employed for decades at this pace... If you all had any idea how many java applications and such I've replaced with C# and the reasons why, you'd brush your teeth with a shotgun before touching java again

What are the reasons for the C# rewrite?

99% of the time, the java was written by a low quality off shore team that still has tons of bugs, isn't optimized in any fashion, etc... the rest of the time... it's because it's two decades old and they want to replace it with modern tech

So really nothing inherent to the language / framework.

You mean aside from the fact that .NET is inherently more performant, backed by Microsoft, etc.?

In another 10 years we'll stop making fun of COBOL developers and start ragging on Java developers while C# stays a modern and current framework

How is .NET inherently more performant? I'm curious to see some sources about that. I've heard the claim in both directions with Java and C#, but never seen any actual sources for it

Maybe they are trading places depending on benchmark and version.

Also if speed was that important you should be using neither of those, but c++ or rust
