Java API and Microsoft's .NET API: a Comparison

Posted by Soulskill on from the similar-and-yet-not dept.

Nerval's Lobster writes "Previously, developer Jeff Cogswell focused on the respective performances of C# and Java. Now he's looking at yet another aspect of the languages: the runtime libraries—what exactly the libraries are, how they are called, and what features the languages provide for calling into them. Examining the official Java API (now owned by Oracle) and the official .NET API owned by Microsoft, he finds both pretty complete and pretty much a 'tie' with regard to ease-of-use and functionality, especially since Java version 7 release 6 allows for automatic resource management. Read on and see if you agree."

    Nice rant, grandpa. Yeah, we should all be coding in ASM, because it produces such better products! Eyeroll.

    In .NET, everything is an object.

    Unless it isn't, of course.
