Few gripes with c# (as a hobby developer): -no sum types, Java 17, kotlin, scala, f#, typescript, rust, Swift, nim, ocaml etc all can modeling types better than C#
- no option, no result, exceptions are invisible for caller (ex. Tracking effects in nim) -NRT doesn't resolve all problems, "required" is better, but I don't know if c# 10 will get it - no let/val like kotlin, scala, rust. only readonly - no expression based like kotlin/scala (or required initialization like in rust) - no exhausting pattern matching - most community are consumers of Microsoft libraries. Want small rest API framework? use asp.net core, want full stack? Use asp.net core. No other framework, even for rails is Sinatra. - i would like to see better documentation frameworks with top level comments, doc tests, runnable examples like in rust, nim, d, and unit framework like in d or rust. - no free functions, top level for only one file in project is too restrictive. - no easy repl based work ( or community accepted) From my newbie perspective c# is still good for few things, enormous resources for everything, only java from 'application' languages have more, generics, records, value types etc |
