This sounds like something a programmer would come up with as a joke, but because it's Microsoft, I believe you.

I just went through that for a while and saw nothing that doesn't look exactly like C#. If it's based around .NET and looks exactly like C#, why the fuck not just use C#?

As somebody who first started coding BASIC on an Apple IIe in 1981, I am just so tired of new languages. They all do basically the same shit and there's just no real point to any of them.

Imagine JS and C# had a baby, and it was mentally challenged.

We had that in 1999 - JScript

I thought jscript was just javascript, but called that because of ✨Trademark Issues✨

C# was originally J++ which was originally Java++ until Sun sued MS.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

Of course they sued them.

I supported standard JDK stuff but had lots of Visual Basic and Windows extras.
