Imo, it’s nice to see tools written in a memory safe systems language
Especially if you use a lot of them. More utility, less attack surface
This makes sense! You get the same advantage if the app uses Go or C# though, and both of those can compile to a single statically-linked executable too.
If it’s written in C# that’s a huge turn-off though because that means it’s likely to only run on Windows.
I mean, in theory, it could run on Linux but that’s a very rare situation. Almost everything ever written in C# uses Windows-specific APIs and basically no one installs the C# runtime on Linux anymore. It’s both enormous and a pain in the ass to get working properly for any given C# project.
That’s a very old way of thinking of things. C# has been cross platform for a long time.
Not really. Most C# apps use .NET (since the framework and standard library is quite feature-rich) rather than direct Win32 calls, and .NET is cross-platform. A lot of web services are written in C# and deployed to Linux servers.
You can compile a C# app to a single executable that doesn’t require the framework to be installed.
Are you running Jellyfin, the *arr suite, slskd, or Technitium DNS? They’re all written in C#.
You’ve obviously never tried to get any given .NET project working in Linux. There’s .NET and then there’s .NET Core which is a mere subset of .NET.
Only .NET Core runs on Linux and nobody uses it. The list of .NET stuff that will actually run on .NET Core (alone) is a barren wasteland.
