I like C#. I worked as a C++ developer for a long time and there is so much ceremony associated with C++ just to avoid wandering into the wrong bit of memory. Moving to C# was a relief. I followed that with a stint as a Java developer and found it a bit of a leap backwards although I did like Java enums. Now I can develop .NET Core on my MBP without having to boot a VM and deploy to docker. I'm currently looking at Elm for some frontend dev.

C# is gonna get a lot nicer sooner when non-nullable reference types are introduced in C#8 and the next .NET Core. Then all my C# brethren can experience the joy that we've had in TypeScript and Kotlin for a while.
