Python is the best programming language in the world! but i choose C# rather than Python. Here is why.
- Higher performance. C# is compiled into intermediate language and runs on .NET runtime. Even you can make it native compiled. this generally faster than Python, which is interpreted.
- Strong typing. C# is ideal for large-scale projects, enterprise-grade systems where stability and maintainability are crucial.
- Tooling. Yes, in C# you have asp.net for web, windows form, WPF, Maui, event Unity for game development
- Strong integration with Windows and Azure. You can use windows, service, and azure.
- Well structured. C# follows a more formal structure just like C, Java, and C++ so learning curve will be shorter.
However, Python win in areas like:
- Data Science, Machine Learning, and AI prototyping
- Fast development cycles and scripting, you will love Jupyter!
- Large open-source ecosystem and community support
why i am choosing C#, because
- I am game developer, i am using C# to build the Unity Game
- Enterprise Software, like information system or web
- Windows desktop, building multi-platform software in MAUI
- Web API and IOT, using asp.net core offers great performance and scalability
in the end this post is not about debate who is better, but personal opinion on my specific use case. If you build Machine learning i can use C# but it will be more difficult than Python. so you choose, where is money go!
