Performance-Wise, C# Trumps Java

I'd love to know what you've moved on to. I'm still 'addicted' to C# these days and it pays the bills very well. For me, before C# it was PHP & Java and I have no interest in ever going back to those.

For me there was not one identicle fit to cover C# however a mixture of Java, Scheme, C++(11) and Python covers pretty much everything. Some will argue having to know more languages, libraries, tools, etc. is a pain in the ass and to an extent that is true but I much prefer using a technology that is better tuned for a task that forcing C# into lots of different domains like I used to do.

I've personally moved to Ruby and I'm slowly bringing Javascript and other JVM languages like Clojure and Scala into the fold.

In addition, I've moved to vim as a text editor and tried to avoid IDEs where possible.

The biggest thing to do is break your addiction to Visual Studio and the luxury tooling. That's harder for some programmers to do, but it opens a lot of doors with other stacks.

I'm also an ex-C# dev, now doing Python, haven't looked back once.

I have friends telling me to try python. I don't know how I will survive without curly braces. :)
