Why C# in 2020 ? - in brief

-


C# was developed in 2000 by Andres Hejlsberg who leads the team at Microsoft as a rival to Java. Microsoft first used the name C# in 1988 for a variant of the C language designed for incremental compilation. That project was not completed but the name lives on. The name "C sharp" was inspired by the musical notation where a sharp indicates that the written note should be made a semitone higher in pitch. 

The most recent version is 8.0, which was released in 2019 alongside Visual Studio 2019 version 16.3. Its development team is currently led by Mads Torgersen.

C# is,

  • Simple
    • It is like a complexity removed version of Java or C++.
    • Similar to Java.
  • Modern
    • Modern features such as exception handling, garbage collection, extensible data types, and code security are features that are expected in a modern language. C# contains all of these.
    • These features are updated recently.
  • Object-Oriented
  • Powerful & Flexible 
    • Diverse as creating word processors, graphics, spreadsheets, and even compilers for other languages.
    • Visual Studio is a powerful IDE for C# development.
