Despite .NET being relatively friendly with Open Source, Java will probably remain the first choice for FOSS devs for a while, if only due to history and traction. You could write a C# Lemmy alternative, but it wouldn’t necessarily be faster or simpler or better in any particular way than a Java version. I’d certainly rather contribute in Java than start from scratch in C#.
If C# is so good, where is the C# Lemmy/Mbin/Sublinks/Piefed alternative everyone has been waiting for?
