C# (pronounced "C Sharp") is a modern, high-level, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft as part of its .NET initiative and is a general-purpose programming language intended to be used with Microsoft’s .NET platform. It is designed to be a simple, type-safe, object-oriented language that enables developers to quickly create robust, reliable, and secure applications for the web, desktop, and mobile devices. C# has a simple syntax that is easy to learn and use, and the language is compiled into native code for improved performance and security. It is a statically-typed language that supports powerful object-oriented programming techniques and supports the use of multiple programming paradigms such as procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. It is also fully integrated with the .NET Framework, allowing developers to access a wealth of libraries and language services. C# is widely used for building a range of applications, from simple console programs to sophisticated enterprise-level applications and distributed web services. It is also a popular language for game development and mobile application development. With its powerful features, scalability, and robustness, C# is an ideal language for building modern applications.
Modern looking. It was surprisingly easy for me to move to Rust from c#, although everyone says it has a steep learning curve.
Because it is not owned by Microsoft.
