C# remains a versatile programming language on the Windows .NET framework and some open-source platform capabilities. Anders Hejlsberg, a Microsoft engineer, introduced it in 2000. Initially known as COOL, or “C-like Object Oriented Language,” the language followed Python.
Programmers can use C# to create mobile and desktop apps, enterprise software, websites, and cloud-based platforms. They also use it in gaming development and to create enduringly popular titles such as Rimworld on the Unity Game Engine.
Completely object-oriented, C# organizes design around objects or data instead of logic and function, boosting efficiency and flexibility. Relatively easy to learn, the static typing allows the language to detect difficult-to-detect errors and anomalies flagged before any application goes live.
The performance speed of C# executes more quickly than Java. Therefore, many game developers prefer it. It also offers a robust community, with more than 1.5 million active developers focused on pushing the boundaries in areas such as AR/VR experiences.
