> I often wonder how Java developers feel when they look over at C#, and see a language that has exploded in functionality over the last decade, all while Java has mainly optimised the JVM and slowly added features.

I am a long time Java programmer that has mostly programmed C# lately.

I'm getting more conservative by the years but I still found myself liking modern C#.

The thing I miss from Java is the ecosystem:

- three top notch IDEs

- more mature ecosystem

- maven

Use Rider and Nuget and you shouldn't miss much.
