    For those wondering, it’s most likely a jab at unity with it’s new license model, as you could code in C# in it.

      WTF I didn’t understand, thanks for the explanation. The fact that it’s used all around the world in big companies doesn’t matter I guess.

    You think C# is a Unity thing?

    • EnderMB@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I doubt the number of C# developers would drop even 1% due to Unity fucking itself.

        Oh, VS is not "little", it's one of the bloatiest pieces of software on earth.

        Also, Forms? How dare you. :p

        My boss: add this field to this old form.

        Me: open the form, add my field. Now VS crashes. I have to open the form code in a different editor and delete all the code VS added to the form when I opened it in the form editor.

    Thinking that C# is just Unity is a MASSIVE disservice to C# and dotnet imo. Unity’s usage of C# is really crummy, basically relegating a very powerful language to working as a weird scripting language.

    source
    • modulojs@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Absolutely. C# in Unity always seemed to me like a square peg in a round hole.

      From my perspective (teaching game programming classes), it’s incredibly clunky for beginners when compared to others. Unity needed a tightly integrated, noob-proof scripting language. Despite C# being the main option, its truly terribly integrated with Unity, and difficult to set-up compared to alternatives, and you don’t even get use of the broader ecosystem. Even Flash/ActionScript is much easier for students, and results in more portable coding skills (e.g. transitioning to JavaScript from Flash is easier)

      I much prefer teaching the exact same lessons / concepts using Godot, though sadly Unity is much better known. Hopefully the present pricing chaos might shift the needle a bit on this!

      source
      • Cethin@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Unity used to also have UnityScript, but it’s deprecated. It was like JS, but it wasn’t really used by many people compared to C#.

        source
      • Elderos@lemmings.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I am curious, what exactly is missing in the latest LTS version from .Net what makes it so clunky to use for students? Afaik it is pretty solidly close to actual .Net 4.7 nowadays.

        I mean you’re right, but I’ve never met anyone who thinks that way. C++ is everywhere (although C++ itself is just a hot mess of a language imo).

      Not to mention C# is also the best way to write a Godot project.

    • kryllic@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Agreed, I feel like if someone starts their C# journey exclusively in Unity, they won’t have a solid foundation in the actual language, just that specific implementation of it as a scripting language.

      source
      • Eloise@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Can confirm as someone who did exactly that before starting over with c++

        source
      • Elderos@lemmings.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        It is pretty damn close to actual C# nowadays. Some version, I think it was 2019, really upped up the scripting backend.

    Nice meme. I’ll just ignore the fact most C# devs aren’t game devs but…

    Many other engines use C#. Godot is fully compatible with it, for example.

      How comparable is Godot to Unity feature-wise?

        Rust really isn’t all that. Plus C# is used for all kinds of corporate stuff where Rust levels of performance aren’t needed. It’s also used in several other game engines

    Hot take (maybe?) C# looks like a great language, better than Java. I wish I had an excuse to use it.

      • locuester@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Definitely not the case. I’ve been doing C# for over 20 years. For the last 6 years I’ve used it to write Linux services exclusively.

        The “Java” relation was true 20 years ago, and the “Linux” argument was true 7 years ago. But neither hold any water anymore. It’s a great language and framework to write a wide variety of software with.

        source
      • Elderos@lemmings.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Java feels archaic compared to C#. I am not sure what problems you’re having on Linux? This sounds like a very outdated take tbh.

        Tbh it’s just microsoft java

        Microsoft made so many javas (remember Visual J++ or J#?), C# is the only one that survived. Well, Microsoft now also ships OpenJDK, apparently.

    • Pipoca@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Being a much better language than Java isn’t exactly a high bar.

      I immediately angrility opened the comments to respond. I think it’s just a side effect of working in this field. I have to be completely literal to the computer so in communication I prefer the same style. I will argue with people on the use of ambiguous language. More so if they are analysts. I can understand the business doesn’t always fully grasp the concept but if you give me a functional analysis it best be 100% clear. And yes, I’ve been tested for autism, it certainly flagged up as a possible trait, but it’s hard to know if this hasn’t just become an ingrained preference. Sure does help me when communicating with neurodivergent people, and I’ve heard from several neurotypical people as well that they actually appreciate the clarity!

    • fuck_u_spez_in_particular@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yeah me too, but I think it’s not there yet, when you think out of a less programmer focused perspective, as most of the stuff in games is of artistic nature (which takes time to make, even with all the AI stuff) and otherwise simple game logic for most of these indie games. So something like an interactive GUI editor to “debug” is a must have for artists.

      Sadly don’t think Bevy’s going to benefit too much from this drama. Most people from Unity will want a more complete toolset and probably won’t be wanting to learn a whole new language. Can see a lot of indie devs making the switch over to Godot though

      source
  • MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    C# is massive, .NET one of the biggest platforms for code is C#. Plus Godot, Unity’s closest comparable competitor, also allows C#.
