i still hate microsoft employees more than i hate russia

@hj That's a hardcore level of hate of microsoft.

That said I think I hate Oracle the most.

@lanodan i mentioned before but in my dictionary "nigger" means "microsoft employee".

Meanwhile i see Oracle as just a husk of Sun Microsystem, for what it's worth, Java has some great ideas behind it, and I still reluctantly love it.

@hj Yeah, I wouldn't dev in java because that's quite annoying but otherwise I take it as a pretty neat language and platform which is a bit dear to me.

@lanodan @hj Java is a fucking pain. I don't know why my uni adopted it as it's primary language.

@xianc78 @lanodan it's easy to adopt lul

@hj @lanodan Not when it has shitty quirks like requiring methods to access characters in a string and missing basic shit like an exponential operator.

C# is what everything Java should have been. It's one of the few times Microsoft did something right.

@xianc78 @lanodan C# is just Java but with microsoft brand attached to it.

literally clone of java to a fault

@hj @xianc78 @lanodan What pisses me off about .NET/C# is how much control Microsoft has over the language. Like, sure, you claim to support compiling for cross-platform and such, but simultaneously, you're closing source codes and making it harder to compile and debug for anyone who isn't using Visual Studio.

@seanking @lanodan @hj There are open-source C# IDEs like VSCode, MonoDevelop, and SharpDevelop, but yeah, I do agree that it sucks that Microsoft pretty much has full control of the language. And C# is still pretty much frowned upon in the FOSS community because of that.

I just think it's pretty decent for a gamedev language.
