> .NET languages are amazing. It's fairly easy to program in any style in C# now:

It is very hard explaining to Java programmers why Java is so bad. Country of The Blind (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Country_of_the_Blind) is very apropos.

C# is an incredible language that makes it easy to express a multitude of ideas from a wide range of programming paradigms.

Referencing a short story doesn't really explain it to anyone.

I've been jumping back and forth since 1995.

Recently .NET has been very good, but whenever I program in it now and then there are things I miss badly from the Java side.

I do both ecosystems since they exist, C# > Java while JVM > CLR, plus even if not standard Java, the biggest selling OS is powered mostly by it.

Why JVM > CLR?
