Recently I have switched from using C# to Java at work. This is a move that bewilders some people. I’ve used .NET at work for over 6 years and a little more before that, so it’s understandable that going for something different after so much time raises eyebrows. In this short article I’ll try to explain my rationale behind doing so. I’ll also describe the process itself. Bear in mind that, given the topic, many things that you’ll read are my personal opinions or speculations.
