Yeah C# gets a bad rap. I spent a decade developing in C++, and Java before switching to C# because of program requirements. Now I never want to go back.

C# development was spearheaded by Anders Hjelsberg, one of the brains behind Borland Delphi/Object Pascal.

Does it get a bad rap outside of this meme? I've only heard praise. It's by far my favorite language

It's IMO getting a bit oldish, it's nice for small projects (up to medium sized I guess, after that I don't see the benefits over say C/C++ but that's just my opinion) but there are a lot of improvements that could be done I think.

The language is open source IIRC, so it could be done I guess, like C/C++ has new versions every some years.

There are new versions of C# every year.
