This, but unironically. That is basically exactly how it started (after “J#” IIRC), minus a few wrinkles ironed out because if you’re reinventing the wheel, might as well try not to make the same flaws the old one had. Of course things branched out from there and C# has been a very different beast from Java since the 2000s.

I the beginning, C# was basically “Java, the good parts”, developed from scratch as a new language though. J# was developed in parallel as a replacement for Visual J++, and could run essentially unmodified Java code.

At a previous workplace, we had projects that were combined C# and J# projects. It was a bit strange.

The best feedback I ever got on an assignment in grad school was “wow, your homework looks like a textbook!”

It may not always be correct, but it’s always pretty!

How so, templates make for less code usually? Or like template meta prog?

I’m a C++ dev and I’m lost on this one :-p plz send help

I think it’s because each template specialization works kind of like a new copy of a class.

That’s my best guess, in the sense that that’s what the compiler ends up producing, for templated code: the same code copy-pasted for however many different use cases you have.
