I get asked a lot why I like C# as much as I do. Being a supporter of open source software, a dedicated Linux user, and a contributor to Metasploit (which is written predominantly in Ruby), C# seems like an odd choice as my favorite language. When I began writing in C# many years ago, Miguel de Icaza (of GNOME fame) had recently started a small project called Mono. Mono, in essence, is an open source implementation of Microsoft’s .NET framework. C# as a language had been submitted as an ECMA standard, and the .NET framework was touted by Microsoft as a replacement for Java because code could be compiled on one system or platform and run on another. The only issue with this was that Microsoft had only released the .NET framework for the Windows operating system. Miguel and a small group of core contributors took it upon themselves to make the Mono project the bridge the .NET framework needed to reach the Linux community. Luckily, a friend of mine who had recommended I learn C# but knew I was also very interested in Linux, pointed me in the direction of this fledgling project to see whether I could use both C# and Linux. After that, I was hooked. C# is a beautiful language. The creator and lead architect of the language, Anders Hejlsberg, got his start working on compilers for Pascal and later Delphi. This experience gave him a keen understanding of truly powerful features in an assortment of programming languages. After Hejlsberg joined Microsoft, C# was born around the year 2000. In its early years, C# shared a lot of language features with Java, such as Java’s syntax niceties, but over time, it grew into its own language and introduced a slew of features before Java did, such as LINQ, delegates, and anonymous methods. With C#, you have many of the powerful features of C and C++ and can write full-fledged web applications using the ASP.NET stack or rich desktop applications. On Windows, WinForms is the UI library of choice, but for Linux, the GTK and QT libraries are easy to use. More recently, Mono has introduced support for the Cocoa toolkit on OS X platforms. Even iPhones and Androids are supported.
