    I have a question. Why do the GNU/Linux users recommend C# if it's not Open Source (it's a Microsoft Technology-Programming Language)? What happend with Python and Java?

      There is Mono[^] which is C# that run on Lunux.


      "On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." --Charles Babbage (1791-1871) My: Website | Blog

        Yes, but C# is not Open Source. You code in C#.

          C# is an ECMA standard, which is open and that allows things like the Mono project to exist. See: Standard ECMA-334 C# Language Specification[^]
