      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.
