Microsoft… did themselves no favours with J++ and all that. I think a lot of people who were around in the late 90s/early noughties would still have severe difficulty trusting them, as a producer of developer tools.
Like, I get that they’ve been on a bit of a charm offensive for the last decade, and they’re the happy shiny new Microsoft, and all that, but I’d be cautious, myself.
And it’s just, well, not that compelling. C# a slightly better Java, but really Kotlin already has that covered, and the JVM ecosystem is generally better.

Have you ever used C#?
