C# is a general language, not strictly tied to Microsoft (only dotnet was, but dotnet core fixed that generally).

C# is a heavily OO language with powerful semantics. If you like Java but hate the JVM, C# is your friend. C# has traditionally had much better developer aesthetics than Java but that gap has closed some.

Also worth noting the Java licensing has gone batshit insane in the last version or two.

OpenJdk Is GPLv2 with class path exception. I don't know how that is batshit insane.

It was literally open-sourced completely to the last bits even - that was the update grandparent likely references. But it is without doubt a positive update, so there must be some misunderstanding.

Usually the misundersting comes from Oracle hate, not understanding that without them Java would be stuck in version 6, and since version 10, it is no different than having Fedora and Red-Hat Enterprise.

The problem is that there are always those that rather go with CentOS.

Oracle has been a great steward. I just wish the community would move forward past version 8 sometime soon.
