#6Why would you use C# if starting a company/project today? I know C# fans love it, but seriously why not choose a community driven language over one controlled by microsoft?

What do you see as the issue being "controlled by microsoft"?
What risk do you see here?

I wouldn't use it personally because I use other languages, but C# is perfectly fine?
It's basically Java without most of the bad parts. It's a very well designed language that fits most niches (fast, compiled, familiar syntax, feature rich, adopts recent PL concepts, etc.)

I still despise Microsoft but I'm old although I'm old but I think most people on here too. They do make some good development products VSCode and Github in particular but I'd still rather avoid them as much as possible.

#10Isn't it because it was tied to Windows? My impression still is that the ecosystem is not as well supported outside of Windows.
Similar problem with Swift even though it started out as an open source project. The ties to Apple OSes are hard to break and ignore.
