Casper, you say the JDK ecosystem is uninspiring. To each his own, but I
disagree. I love the culture of innovation that has happened outside of
Sun/Oracle within the JDK community. All kinds of alternate languages
(Scala/Kotlin/etc) alternate build tools and paradigms (Maven/Gradle),
web
frameworks, configuration frameworks, competing IDEs, all innovate and
suceed or fail based on largely merit. In the .NET world, the community
at
large is very resistant to using anything that isn't officially
Microsoft.
I can't talk myself as I don't know the .NET world. But whenever I meet
people who know both worlds I always hear the same story: that the .NET
ecosystem is ridicolously smaller than the Java one, for a number of
reasons including tooling, frameworks, etc... - and culture. The very
latest comment I've heard from a corporate owner, who's also a tech man,
is: I've interviewed a pair of C# developers (he's going to open a line of
development in C#) and while they were extremely proficient with Microsoft
visual tools, they were completely clueless for what concern code. They
even didn't know what patterns are.
I repeat: I can't tell this by my direct knowledge.
