[You’re experience isn’t with J# is it?]
Woops, that’s one I completely forgot about, along with C#. I started to try them, but got out quickly.
I wanted a language that would still be around in 20 years so I wouldn’t have to continuously rewrite code from scratch, so I think I guessed right going to Java (everyone said I was a fool for not going Microsoft). Now I just do in house stuff for my real estate, so code longevity is more important than bleeding edge or keeping up with the microsofties. Also free development platforms like netbeans save a ton of money.
