Whats wrong with comparisons to Java, and why the need for you and the article author to throw shade at Java while singing the praises of C#?

Java and C# are very similar languages.

Shitting on Java is part of .NET ethos (I've worked in a couple of .NET shops)

I recently worked with some .Net developers who wanted a primarily Java based company to let them work with .Net. In their opinion .Net was so much better (faster, larger ecosystem, more developers) that it would pay off quickly. When I asked them for documentation, they pointed to some microbenchmarks that had no significance to the type of work they would do. They also complained that Java was more "corporate" than ".Net", which is ridiculous in my opinion. Even if that was the case, the differences would be a "rounding error"

I think that's part of every other language's ethos.

In the Java dev teams I haven't noticed any common target that would be consistently shat on.
