Because of Rails (Ruby on Rails.) I do web-development and Rails is a good framework. Now I also see that Ruby is a fantastic language.

How do you find it compared to ASP.NET? Performances? 
|

I prefer it to ASP.NET in most regards and for most of the web-development I have done in the last few years. Performance wise I have not noticed any problems introduced by the Rails framework or the Ruby language. The answer is the same for all frameworks and languages; design well.

Personally I find it quite... messy. Moreover I prefer strongly-typed languages (less errors and side effects, in my opinion).
Is it just me?

I have found that strangely I am not making type errors as I expected I would. I am actually finding I am thinking more about my app and less about language syntax.

Me too. I am quite happy with this language

I work with C#, but I'm sure there are still many Java coders which are raged against "C-sharpers". A reason could be that C# seems to be a thief-brother of Java, but there are many aspects which Java doesn't cover as C# does 
If the Java programmers are fewer and fewer, their wages will increase? Or could C# programmers become some "code behind designer users" with an appropriate salary

Don't kid yourself, Java is alive and well. Code Project is a Microsoft-Centric site, thus the low numbers of Java Programmer responses.

Yes, you're right, I have friends that were forced to work with Java, after previous C# programming, and they wouldn't give up to work with Java. But they were complaining in some situations. Microsoft became very popular in the last years and they prepare amazing future releases of their products. I would like to see the same competition for Java products. Maybe I am wrong, it's my perception problem

You can't exactly do a C# vs Java and point out that there's less Java respondents here as a demise of the language. TCP is a ".net" oriented site with a focus that originally started as a C# site (way back in the day). While I use and love C#, this premise is just flawed.

C# is better, MS has provided a platform that Sun tried to and only managed to get because of the Apache Software Foundation. I was a Java programmer for well over 5 years and coded everything from 1 offs to enterprise. I am now a C#/.NET coder and I can tell you that I see the light, thought I think C# programmers lack the sophistication that Java programmers offer... I don't see many new C# guys using XML by implementing a recursive call back parser... (Let alone know what that even is…)

but the question was "What is paying your rent this month?"
i'm still sticking to C++ in my heart... 
BTW, I'm pretty sure some people here answered their favorite language, not the one they use at work.

Or even whats going to be paying your rent in the next 5 years, it's always best to look a little long term, as you know with technology it can become quickly obsolete.

So if you've got a mortgage you've got even more to lose... so think long term...

C# is wonderful for programmers.

If you love coding with C# then switch to JAVA, otherwise start using VB.Net and stop worrying about Semi Colon after each line...  ....Enjoy ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

hi

wait... switch to Java? ...to VB?
Hmm... I must respectfully disagree with that logic, the C# language, for one thing, makes it worthy of note, descendant of C++ (I'm certain that God himself developed the C++ language). The thing is, unlike C++, C# is a high-level language with a good ratio of neat little built-in tricks and improvements (i.e. operator overloading, for example) to crippled features (i.e. #define) Nothing is perfect, but C# is pretty d*mn good, and, in my meager opinion, one of the best languages out there today.
It's only fair to note that, other than HTML (which doesnt really count when put in context), C# was the first language I learned, followed by C++ after I mastered C#.

What?? No Pascal??
I learned off of Pascal, it was so hard when I was learning it, now it's a piece of cake! I even used to be intimidated by Delphi!
Ah, those were the days!

Yea, as you state yourself: were. That time is gone for long.
