I actually really like C#, it’s my favourite. But don’t know how much of that is Stockholm syndrome at this point haha. But whenever I’m writing in other languages i always end up missing something i do regularly in c#, especially from it’s latest versions (which i also deeply miss when forced to work on legacy software that is still using shit like version 4 or 5 of C# (ASP.NET 4.8 / .NET standard) whereas I feel like C# really got good and fun to use from C# 8 onwards (I think this was .NET Core 3.0 or .NET 5 - we’re on C#14 now with .NET 10, with 15 on the horizon).

It’s a bit of a kitchen sink language now. I haven’t used it professionally in quite a while but using it for Godot (anything but gdscript) has me scratching my head over some of the architectural decisions. It seems to be led by „if people do a certain form often enough, add a shorthand to the language“, which is one way of cutting boilerplate, but does lead to something very hard-to-parse if you’re not familiar with it.
