This article is currently a mess and reeks of original research and fancruft. Even if there could be enough sources to justify the notability of this comparison, with the current way this article is written I see no other way than to WP:TNT it. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 10:27, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

delete - Yes, both the Java, and the .NET platform are similar in many ways; likely they are two very common plaforms where Software development is done. In that respect, the 'recipes' of how certain things are done are very similar; tools may be slightly different. If you look at it at the level of Data Structures (or Abstract Data Tyes), there way to implement Lists, Queues or Sets is similar. I would nevertheless think that doing an in-depth comparison (which needs to be kept up to date, too) shouldn't be the focus of Wikipedia. It will not serve the average reader of wikipedia, and it will be of a very limited use to more tech-savy editors (as they have other sources for this kind of information).

Delete unlikely the comparison could exceed a section in the C# article and this can be revisited if it does. Brandon (talk) 08:03, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
