Should my next project be in Java or C#?

Should my next project be in Java or C#?

You’re asking this on a Java forum? And without any of the project details?

Yeah, this vote isn’t going to be biased at all…

taht is what I was thinking

hi!

this
is
just
another
useless
post

to waste your time.
It would be nice to have a personal filter setting :stuck_out_tongue:

C#, just to be different.

The syntax between the two languages, as well as their speeds, is almost completely equivalent. The libraries are the only difference.

+1

but maybe we can all play a game :slight_smile: by giving our pronostic on this vote lol

I start C# will win I vote for :stuck_out_tongue:

I disagree with you. Java is more mature than C# (especially the garbage collector and the JIT compiler), more platform independent (Mono may cause some legal issues, it is not a solution…) and a bit faster (watch the Quake2 version rewritten in C# and compare it with Jake2 if you don’t believe me). If you target computers (and maybe not only under Windows) and/or mobile phones (except IPhone), I advise you to use Java. If you target XBOX 360, rather use C#.

Their syntaxes are very close, you can use OpenGL both in C# and in Java (JOGL is faster than Tao Framework and any other existing OpenGL bindings in C# for the moment). Maybe you would like to use XNA…

I vote for JAVA of course…

Java or C#?

Pick one, master it - switch later, when it makes sense.

You’re right that Java is much more mature, but in my experience the difference remains mostly irrelevant. However I would never want to develop only for Windows so there’s a big reason to do it in Java.

Also I think it’s really funny that C# is tied with Java right now. I’m assuming it’s because people are joking at the absurdity of the question in this forum.

Definitely Java!

Of course, I havent used c#, haven’t seen or read a reason to do.

forget java, Malbolge is the future.

Ahh, yes. Wonderful language, that.

OMG, just looked it up, never seen syntax like that before, tis beautiful. :slight_smile:

No it isn’t. Brainfuck is the future. :slight_smile:

No, Whitespace is the future. Cleanest programming language there is.

I’m surprised by how many voted for C# :o

I wonder what the results would be like on a C# developer forum. :-\

I agree with you, I’m a bit disappointed :frowning:

I think the ones voting for C# are just saying you should be a well rounded developer. If you’ve tried Java, why not try C# next time. Should make it easier and more confident when you make the decision to come back to Java :wink:

Kev

Threaded Intercal FTW.

I think most who voted C# (like me) just think that this pool makes no sense. Thats like asking: ā€œShould I buy a pizza tomorrow?ā€ completely out of context… Those kind of decisions are requirement driven not poll driven.

(should i buy a pizza tomorrow?)
