Has .NET Leapfrogged Java?
Our authors often have great insights. So when one recently told us that .NET technology—in particular C# combined with LINQ—has "leapfrogged Java," we took note. The evidence?
Microsoft's Language INtegrated Query (LINQ) provides a direct link between C# and any data source without the need for a persistence layer like Hibernate.
C# introduced generics, custom attributes, delegates, standardized foreach iterators, property syntax, and extensible value types before Java. The .NET platform now includes Python, Ruby and new languages like F#, and frameworks like WPF, WCF, and ASP.NET have become industrial strength.
On the flipside, another of our authors tells us that a language lives in a developer community and Java's is more vibrant. Java-to-.NET ports like NAnt, NHibernate and NUnit abound, but there's been little movement in the other direction. And .NET still implies Windows. Have the tables really turned? You decide.
