C#. Comes with a first-class dev and debugging experience, a HUGE first-party BCL, cross-platform application support, and one of the best webserver frameworks out there.
TypeScript makes a reasonably-close second, not necessarily because it’s great, but because of how effective it is at making JavaScript usable.
The first-class dev and debugging experience, is this with Visual Studio or Rider as IDEs?
Because I currently do C# with Linux + neovim + Omnisharp as Language Server and it is really slow and bad. Do you have any tips?
I’ve never used it on Linux but Rider seems fast to me on Windows. It’s snappier than Visual Studio + Resharper at least.
VS for me. I’ve heard notbing but praise for Rider.
I know there’s also a lot of popularity for VSCode, if you know what you’re doing and what all extensions you need to setup, but that makes for a much bigger barrier to entry.
Do you know which extensions are good? I used to use 🤪 vscode but changed to helix and then neovim due to the memory and cpu usage vscode does require.
Nope, sorry. https://discord.gg/csharp if you wanna find folks that do.
Rider on Linux has worked great in my experience
I write C++ for a living but all the C# devs around me are very happy about this language.
Couldn’t have said it better myself! Lovely that it’s the most upvoted one.
Funny you list both C# and Typescript because the lead architect of C# also worked on Typescript.
