Also, almost all of that is written in C, which is a successor to B, which is a simplified version of the Basic Combined Programming Language. There was never an A.

    Yes, but I'm not sure if we want to open the "programming language can of worms".

    There's B, C, C++, C#, Objective-C, D, E, F, F#, F* and so many more. Also, they may or may not have anything to do with each other

    Also I've read that C# is C++++ (like put those + on 2x2 table, which in turns ressemble a #)

    Hahaha I've never heard that before. Seems legit.

    C# was originally "Java: The Good Parts" but but these days it's a much more advanced language and runtime compared to Java.

    As a dev who works on both Java and C# code, modern Java (17+) and C# feel almost exactly the same (not sure if Java has extension methods though).

    Bonus points for using Kotlin instead tho. I dislike both Java and C# just because they both allow any object to be null and that's usually a headache whenever a null exception shows up.

    The only thing I like better about C# is the Fixture library for testing. I haven't found any mature libraries like it for Java yet.

    Though there was a programming language called A Programming Language. Not the A programming language. A Programming Language.
